Ummm...  That's not the only issue IMHO.  When the managed network
available and some dolt has their laptop set to use the same ESSID but
in ad-hoc mode, NM doesn't distinguish between them.  This has been
killing my ability to use NM other than at home since my customers are
all using MS laptops which seem to know better.  

I want a quick fix that allows me to tell NM to totally ignore ad-hoc
networks.  As a linger term fix, I'd like to see NM distinguish between
the FOO managed network and the FOO ad-hoc network not only in the GUI
but also in network selection and connection logic.
