Correct
Anyway, was there some problem with NM here?
I've added manually two APs one with security enabled
(WPA2-Personal/CCMP) second open.
I was not able to connect to the open AP with NM it ask for a key.
When I want to connect to hidden ssid I have to manually scan for it
with iwlist wlan0 essid <SSID>, but that's rather old problem I guess.
The GUI has conceptual problem that it trying to connect something in
scan list (Wireless Networks - right click) instead to what we call a
profile (managed list of netrwork connection in NM language)
It has to be other way around. It should be possible to create a
profile form an entry in thes scan list and connect this specific
profile and not clicking on the entry of an scan list.
Even wpa supplicant works with profiles so why not the GUI?
Thanks
