Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: important


In fact, I have two AP in my home, say 'A' and 'B'.
I use mainly 'A', but sometimes, network-manager connects to 'B' instead 
of 'A'. In this case, if I say to network-manager to connect to 'A', it 
disconnect to 'B' and... reconnect to 'B'.
If I restart network-manager, it connects either to 'A' or 'B', and like 
before, I can't switch from one to another.

$ lspci | fgrep -i wireless

I use the iwlwifi driver, with the 2.6.24-1-686 kernel, and 
firmware-iwlwifi.
