Re: Disable/Ignore access point
It still happened to me. I seleted my access point, then at some point it re-polled and select the unencrypted one (that was first on the list of available access points). This is after I deleted the unencrypted (and unwanted) connection from "Edit Connections->Wireless". -Bryan On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 8:20 AM, Derek Atkins wrote: > Derek Atkins writes: > > >> Any of them have an SSID of linksys?

Re: Disable/Ignore access point
Quoting Dan Williams : Yes, I mean Network Manager itself connected to the linksys even though I erased it. I even stopped NM, killed nm-applet, killed gconf, deleted all the files, and restarted everything, and it *still* connected to the linksys network against my wishes. When you say "killed gconf", you mean 'rm -rf ~/.gconf' and then 'killall -TERM gconfd-2' or something else? gconftool-2 --shutdown Then rm -rf ~/.gconf/.../linksys (I removed the linksys directory in the wireless networks list) I shouldn't have any system connections.. At least I'm pretty sure I never set any up. How do I check? If you run the connection editor, you'll see all the connections defined on your system. And there are a bunch of "Auto ..." networks there, but not in any particular order which makes it hard to find one in particular.

When you say "NM", do you mean NetworkManager itself in the logs said it was trying to connect, or do you mean you saw the BSSID of the linksys ap in the results for "iwconfig" at some point?

If you won't want to connect to it, you can remove its configuration in the connection editor, and NM won't connect to it automatically any more.

I'll connect to the AP I want, but at some interval NetworkManager re-scans available AP's and picks an unencrypted AP (that I don't want). So I have to then, via nm-applet, reselect the AP I want to use. This is so irritating that I currently "killall -STOP NetworkManager" after a successful connection to my AP. Then the world is good, but that's not a super awesome solution. Could I disable/ignore that AP somehow? Via nm-applet's interface or NetworkManager itself? It's a feature I need as well, as the pay-only unencrypted AP's covering the entire downtown toronto area are sometimes preferred by NM even when I'm at home. I'd like to blacklist ESSID's. If the functionality is there, it is not clear. rightclick -> add to blacklist seems intuitive for me.
