There was a bug open about this. There are two reasons why: 1) signal strength still isn't reliable enough to use, and the AP you want to connect to is *not* always the strongest, especially if you live in places like apartment complexes like some people do. Signal strength also isn't always reliable, it varies depending on whether somebody around has WiMAX turned on, or bluetooth turned on, or a microwave between you and the AP. 2) The menu is mostly useful for *first time* connections to an AP, and when you connect to an AP the first time, you almost always know the name. Otherwise there's nothing you can use to distinguish the AP you need to connect to from any other AP. Like in a coffee shop I often go to, the SSID and the password are clearly printed on a slip of paper near each table. But there are also 5 other APs around. So if you've connected to the AP before, NM should be automatically reconnecting to it. Or, in 0.8 your previously-used APs will be listed first in the menu anyway. If you've got a bunch of APs you no longer connect to, you can remove them with the connection editor too (right-click nm-applet, Edit connections...) Thanks for your report. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
