[Bug 334500] Re: Three instances of my wireless network

[Peter T Hayward]

Continuing from my previous post, I have found a way to change the line that says 'No active connection'
If I left-click on the network manager tray icon I get a list of access points. I click my own AP and in the resulting 'Add  network connection' dialog window I enter my WPA-PSK password (the entry box is blank, despite the fact I am already connected) and then tick the 'Connect Automatically' box (which initially shows unticked).
The existing connection is closed and a new one started. This time the tray pop-up box shows the same list of APs but the actual connection to my AP now shows the text 'Signal Strength: 58%' to the left of the signal bar. This used to show 'No active connection', but now it looks right.
This would be fine, but I have to do this procedure after every log in. It seems that an automatic connection is actually made at log in but that the network manager 
does not recognise it properly until it has been made to go through its dialogs. 
Is this something to do with passwords? The password is actually used automatically, probably by wpa_supplicant, but the dialog does not seem to have access to it.
