The adhoc network with enabled SSID interferes with the infrastructure network with hidden SSID. I use "Connect to other" and, if there's no adhoc network with same SSID around, it connects to the hidden SSID. Like it should do. But if there's a network with same SSID Networkmanager connects to it no matter if you have choosen a different (the infrastructure network in my case) originally. Result is that Networkmanager tries to connect to the adhoc with shown SSID and fails of course.
You're saying, for example, you have a SSID (hidden) of Net1 and a SSID (open) of Net1 in the same room?
That's what I meant. I want to connect to the hidden SSID (it's infrastructure or managed mode) but NetworkManager tries to connect to the open SSID (it's an adhoc - computer to computer network). The only work around is specifiing the access points MAC but therefor you can't use nm-applet, I have to use yast. The disadvantage is that I have to reconfigure everything at home with yast and that the infrastructure network with the hidden SSID uses different access points. The goal would be a switch inside nm-applet to say: use infrastructure mode only (the ad-hoc networks are opened by people who doesn't know how to connect to a network with hidden SSID running windows - so windows isn't ideal either) btw. knetworkmanager offers giving a specific MAC.
