I'm in the same case. In fact NM knows mac adresses of acces points (AP), and nm-applet store it in /system/networking/wireless/networks/<ESSID>/bssids (use gconf-editor to browse it). But it will also scan for new AP and thus can try to connect to an AP with same essid if it found it before the correct AP.
There is an other trouble with that : you can have several AP for one network and you want to use the best AP (ie the one with the strongest signal). This is impossible too. There is a workaround, but not a good solution : use this command and reconnect nm-applet (in general you have to reconnect nm-applet 2 or 3 times, I don't know why). $ sudo iwconfig eth1 ap 00:0B:86:82:F2:60 (You should adapt the mac adress and your interface). -- 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
