I understand, but those would be in nm-applet's list of the last five or so networks you've connected to before that are found in scan results now. At this point the "correct" network is listed in the "main" menu rather than needing you to navigate the submenu too.
So, right now it's a matter of two clicks and a relatively short mouse trip down, rather than maneuvering menus; in that particular use case. This doesn't change that we'll eventually implement connection priorities, but it's not going to be fixed in 12.04, and so is a Wishlist bug. Upstream has it on a roadmap or is at least aware of the issue as a frequently requested change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/929948 Title: Network manager should have a "priority" option for wireless network Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When several wireless networks are available, NetworkManager connects to one of the strongest SSID and there is no way (taht I know) to prioritize them. Example: in Spain we have a SSID wireless network that encompass most universities, "eduroam". I have that network defined and it connects ok. But when I am in MY university, which has an eduroam SSID available, I want to connect to the local "comillas" network, even if eduroam is stronger in signal because the firewalls are configured differently and, for example, I can print only when connected to it. NetworkManager now will connect to the strongest or, if they are (they typically are) at the same strenght, to one of them randomly. NetworkManager should have a way to mark "preferred" networks, to use even if there are other and stronger networks in sight. Thanks!
