Strange network manager behavior

Hello

I have 2 networks registered into NetworkManager.
One is OPEN with weak signal, and one is strong with WPA2.

By aplhabetical order, first come open one, then WPA2. I do not know if this has any influence, but when laptop starts, it always connects to open network, instead od WPA2 network, even though I have set autoconnect to wpa2, and NOT autoconnect to open one.

Where’s the catch?
How do I make laptop always try to connect to WPA2 network? (except deleting the open one, which I do when I am pis*** off)

Always use the one? I don’t know, but right-click on Network Manager:
Edit Wireless Networks, and delete the open SSID from the list. Doing
so should prevent Network Manager from using that one without you trying
which should help you, I think.

Good luck.

That is what I am doing, but I do not want to do that.
Seems that I must complain to the NetworkManager guys. Its a bug.

Hi
I have 3 other AP’s around here, but only my default one shows up in
the Networkmanager and auto connects fine.

Did you setup the default one in YaST?
