I can confirm the same issue in 10.04 with network manager. In a hall with a dozen or so APs on the same SSID.
log looks like this while trying to connect: Mar 3 19:42:28 keith-t61u NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): connection 'Auto MIT' requires no security. No secrets needed. Mar 3 19:42:28 keith-t61u NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'ssid' value 'MIT' Mar 3 19:42:28 keith-t61u NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'scan_ssid' value '1' Mar 3 19:42:28 keith-t61u NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 'NONE' Mar 3 19:42:28 keith-t61u NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) complete.
