It never automatically tries to connect to an AP which you haven't manually chosen before. From the list of available networks which you have chosen, it picks the one you chose latest. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The last used AP is only used if it is found via scan

Yes, so it is found, and it is used. And...? My __wish__ -- from known AP connect (automatically) to the one with strongest signal. I know the lately used AP is used, this is not a bug report, this is a wish to change this suboptimal algorithm to optimal one. If you have one known AP (active), it is also AP with the strongest signal, and current behaviour is optimal one. But if you have more than one known AP (active), connecting blindly to lately used one is not a good choice because the other known AP can have better reception. Currently KNM is able to display signal strength so it is also able to use that information when establishing automatic connection.

The original description is invalid.

What do you mean? It is fixed now? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
