There's no doubt that periodic scanning is indeed important and convenient.
But there's not always the case that people want to actually know about all
the networks around them, but they just want to connect to a specific one.
For example, if you have wired connection you most likely want to conne

Alright, but wouldn't it be way smarter to just scan for wireless networks
on unplugging the wired network? Then it would connect immediately and
automatically to the preferred network without any user interaction.
This is something that probably needs to be changed in nm itself but not in
the app

Hi all!
As I'm using a dhcp served network now, with both, wired and wireless LAN
available, i thought i should give the current stable version (0.6.4) of
network manager a try. I'm on a pretty customized debian unstable, with
2.6.19 kernel, an ipw2200 (driver version 1.2.0) network card and wire

Are both open network or is one WEP and the other open? I /think/
that Network Manager will not automatically connect to an unencrypted
network but I am not certain since I

I've recently gone over to NM,
and it has solved a few problems for me,
but it has brought a few new ones with it:
1) I have two WiFi networks in this house,
but I always use one of them, with ESSID dd-wrt.
I read somewhere that NM would work out which network
was usually used;
but in my case this
