Hello,
at my location i sometimes notice that different WLAN-routers broadcasts the
same SSID, but different frequencies and MAC-addresses. They also require
different (WPA1/2-) keys to access. But i have only the access key of one of
this access points.
The autoconnect feature of nm-applet (and hence network manager) seems to
select the host to connect only by the SSID - which often fails.
Could i suggest to implement and use (/store) the MAC address of the WLAN
access point as additional selection key (maybe optionally) ?
Maybe it is already there, but i failed to find on how to configure it (using
nm-applet).
Yes, i know, the backend is wpa-supplicant - maybe there is the deficit. But
network manager is "configuring it" and so this should be possible.
Actually i use network manager v. 0.9.4.0.
regards
Petric
