Bug Description

Network Manager in Intrepid Beta does not allow you to connect to Wireless Access points with the same name on a completely different channel/mac address.

There is 3 "linksys" aps in my area, 2 "actiontec" and a few other aps with the same name, it seems that it only shows only 1 of the each which is incorrect and keeps me from connecting to a specific linksys or any other ap with the same name.
