Could you be a bit more specific here? NM will tell the driver the SSID to associate with. Are you saying that there are two APs, both with the same SSID, but on different channels, and that you want to connect to one but not the other? NM isn't expected to honor the channel set in system-config-network; the channel that NM uses is determined by the driver itself at connect time from the driver's internal BSS list based on the SSID you've told NM to use. Also, the logs indicate successful connections to NETGEAR, but don't indicate any attempts to connect to CSUSB. When running NM in RHEL 5, you aren't expected to be able to change the channel manually. RHEL6 and later allow locking to a specific BSSID (ie, AP) and that will also lock to specific channel. |
