Title: Wi-Fi "connect to new network" goes AWOL when changing geolocalisation Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If/when you install 20.04.1 and during setup you choose a BSSID + finish installation + fully patched system and everything ok, then if you take your laptop over to a different geolocalisation that has different wifi equipment, it becomes fairly hard/impossible for a simple end user to then connect to a new equipment in this new location because there exists no list of found access points. To state this differently: 1. I installed 20.04.1 ISO on my laptop; 2. During installation there was a "wizard" that found a bunch of APs and I connected to one, did the installation, everything went well; 3. Everytime I am physically located where this AP I connected to during installation is: my Internet works no problem. 4. Everytime I take this system and go elsewhere that has different APs, all that MATE gives me at TTY7 launch is that yellow pop-up at the right-hand upper portion of the screen saying that there are other APs nearby. -> The problem with that is: I need to manually go under Control Center -> Advanced Network Configuration -> click on green "+" -> select Wi-Fi -> Fill in all of those informations. This is no problem when you actually know where to connect to. But that is not always the case. My expectations: Instead of MATE telling me it found APs around me (Point #4) is that I would like for that same auto-discovery of APs that was launched during installation to also be available somewhere in MATE so I actually see a list of which APs are around me. That is not currently the case, we need to guess, and this is frustrating. <3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1914891/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
