Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
When I first installed Ubuntu, network-manager connected to my
neighbor's wireless internet connection without asking me. I thought
Linux was supposed to be really secure? Lately, I had problems with my
wireless router, so it has started doing the same thing again. I should
be able to:
1. Tell the manager whether I want it to blindly connect to any network in the
area or not
2. Tell it to prefer certain networks
3. Tell it to never connect to certain networks.
Currently it shows radio buttons in the drop-down from the icon. Maybe
it should really show checkboxes. Then I can click any I am ok with it
connecting to, and it will pick the best one available from those I have
selected.
