Two WLANs with the same SSID but different connection names

[Alexander Karlstad <alexander karlstad be>]

Hi

I've added two WLANs to my list in NM, both with the same SSID (eduroam) 
but I've given them different names, e.g. «eduaroam (foo)» and «eduroam 
(bar)». In nm-applet, «eduroam» appears, but with a sub list which shows 
both «eduroam (foo)» and «eduroam (bar)»[1][2][3].

I took this as a sign that NM understood the difference between the two 
networks (well, it's the same network, but different auth info), but 
that doesn't seem to be the case. It only connects using the cridentials 
from one of the connections (in my case, the «eduroam (foo)») regardless 
of which of them I select.

The reason for me having two different connections is that I have logins 
for two different schools. When I'm at one of them, I need to use my 
cridentials for that connection to get full access to network services 
like SMTP, IMAP, SSH (to their servers) and so on. But when it only 
seems to connect to the "wrong" eduroam, I get a different IP and don't 
get access to what I need.

Now I ask – is this a bug in NM?
