Unable to select different wireless connections with the same SSID
Last modified: 2014-03-03 18:15:21 EST
Description of problem: I'm unable to select saved configurations for a wireless connection with same SSID but different BSSID Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde-plasma-nm-0.9.3.1-5.fc20.x86_64 (afaik this issue was there with any version of kde-plasma-nm) How reproducible: Have a wireless network called "foo". Have a repeater of the original signal that shares the same SSID, "foo". Store two different configurations: "foo base" and "foo repeater": these configs are identical, except that each one is bound to a specific BSSID Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have two signal with same SSID, different BSSID 2. Save two different configs 3. Only one of them shows up in kde-plasma-nm Actual results: I'm unable to select a BSSID using the saved configurations. I have to edit the configuration that kde-plasma-nm randomly chooses for me if I want it to connect to this or that BSSID. Each time. Expected results: Being able to select the proper saved configuration. Both configurations ("foo base" and "foo repeater") should show up when both signals are at reach. Additional info: Fedora 20. This feature has always been available before kde-plasma-nm, so I regard it as a regression.
I just pushed the fix to upstream git repository. You can try to compile plasma-nm from git or wait until we do a new build with this fix.
kde-plasma-nm-0.9.3.1-6.fc20 seems to fix it. Thank you very much.
