Yes, you're right, sorry!
If I'm just next to a router (when the signal level is ~100%), it seems that I don't have this problem. Also, I think that my WiFi driver doesn't detect very well the quality/signal level of non connected routers (many routers have a signal level of 100% even if they are not next to me). Is there a way to configure NM to be "less aggressive" when switching between routers? (e.g. only switch if we're about to be disconnected and not just to have the router with the higher signal level?) Or an option to just disable this feature? (I didn't find any option about that, sorry if I miss something!)Sounds more like wpa_supplicant or the driver. You'd have to know what exactly you expect from NetworkManager, i.e. how exactly its communication to wpa_supplicant differs from that of Wicd. I'm not a Wi-Fi guru, though.
Yes, I want to know how exactly its communication to wpa_supplicant differs from that of Wicd. Or if we can configure wpa_supplicant to not switch between access points (and if yes, if it's possible to configure NM to use this option) Regards, Matt
