Re: max-strength.patch

[Bill Moss <bmoss CLEMSON EDU>]

The max-strength.patch sent earlier was based on the assumption that the 
NMI/N AP list is in the same order as the scan that generates it. That 
does not appear to always be the case. In my office I still see a weak 
AP first in the scan list and a strong one second, but the strong one is 
now showing up in the NMN menu which means it is first in the NMN AP 
list. Since Dbus is the agent that transfers the NM AP list  to the 
NMI/N AP list, there is more going on here than I realized. What changed 
for me was that I deleted all the MAC addresses in gconf and started 
over. Previously I had about 8 addresses listed for my work essid, now I 
only have two. I tried different orders for these MAC addresses in gconf 
but that made no difference. The max-strength.patch will work but it 
would be nice to understand how the AP is ordered.
