I think the original reporter referred to two AP with same SSID _but_ serving completely different networks. So your issue is a different one. Can you please open a new bug for that? - Alexander -- NM cannot distinguish between two networks with the same SSID at all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
