Why? The "internal" network would have been marked as trusted, and would
always be displayed, so I can select it to try to connect to the AP.

yes. And I have no control over this, unfortunately.

Sad. All the windows laptops have no problem with this situation...

By the way, you didn't say anything to the idea to at least display all
"fallback" networks as a drop-down/select-menu in the connect dialog so
I don't have to enter the same information over and over again...
