Greg, thanks for your suggestion. However, as Shahbaz points out, most of the time, Ubuntu will connect automatically to one of the networks you have connected to before. So most of the time, if you open the menu to connect to a Wi-Fi network, it is to connect to a network that you have *not* connected to before. It would be counterproductive, then, to show by default only networks that you *have* connected to before.
Where you have previously connected to more than one of the networks in range, the menu prioritizes showing these ones, ahead of showing networks that you have not connected to before. After that, it prioritizes the strongest other networks, minimizing the probability that the network you want isn't at the top level. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wi-fi-menu> Shahbaz's proposal eliminates the problem of interleaving known with unknown networks. However, the reverse can also be a problem -- for example, you may not remember whether you used the Wi-Fi the last time you were at this particular cafe/airport/etc, so you may not remember whether the network is "known" or not. And having two lists of networks, separated by other functional items, would be rather inelegant. Part of adapting the phone Wi-Fi settings to the PC will, I hope, be introducing the ability to arrange previous networks in order of preference. Once that is done, I don't think there will be any point in also letting you confine/blacklist networks. ** Changed in: indicator-network (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425991 Title: Networks I have never connected to should be confined to the "More Networks" folder To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1425991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
