Description of problem: Sorry if the summary sounds too harsh, but this is a pet peeve of mine and I'm finally filing a bug about it. When I resume my laptop after suspending it (or when I start it up), network manager attempts to connect to a wireless connection. This is fine. Unfortunately for me, I have wireless and so does my neighbor. His essid is called 'AvocaCourt' and mine is called 'tundra' so each time network manager tries to connect, it tries to connect to my neighbors, instead of mine. Questions: Why doesn't network manager try to connect to the last network it was connected to when it resumes the connection? Why can't I set the default network using network manager tools (maybe by right clicking on a network option and selecting "Use as default".?

While some work needs still needs to be done to resolve being able to control what networks NM tries to connect to and in what order, this particular bug no longer seems to be an issue.
