Hi,
This is embarrassing to me. I discovered a bug in the main auto
connect loop. This loop uses two lists:
a) a sorted list of wifis in power descending order
b) a list of installed connections (essids)
The algorithm was originally intended to take the first item from the
power sorted list (a), searches in list (b) for its presence. If it
finds the item in list b, it attempts to connect. If not it continues
iterating until it uses all the items in the power sorted list.
My error was to swap these two lists!
I discovered this bug because netman started to connect to a
neighbour's wifi notwithstanding that my wifi signal was far stronger.
This set me thinking there was something fishy in my algorithm.
I uploaded the code changes to correct this horrible bug.
