I did exactly what you did too - i.e. switched an AP from WEP to WPA-PSK. Because NM had previously associated with the AP with WEP, it considers the AP with WPA-PSK as a different AP, and so there is a second entry in the list of wireless networks corresponding to the same AP. I guess there is no logic in NM currently to cope with an AP changing security settings. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
