permanently blacklisting an AP; rate setting on bcm43xx

[John Steele Scott <toojays toojays net>]

Hi,

Is it possible to permanently blacklist an access point by its MAC
address? I've tried removing the address in gconf-editor, but this didn't
do what I wanted.

The situation is that I have two APs in a WDS setup. One of the APs (a
Billion 7402VGP) does not work properly with the bcm43xx in my iBook. The
other AP (a Belkin) works fine. So I want NetworkManager to only associate
with the Belkin, and never with the Billion.

Another question. On the same iBook, when NetworkManager associates with
an AP, the bit rate is 11Mbits. If I want it faster (e.g. 54Mbits), I have
to set it manually with iwconfig. Is this a known
bug? Is there a simple way to specific a command to run every time NM
associates, so I could have this happen automatically?

I am using NM 0.6.4 from Ubuntu Feisty.

cheers,

John
