Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Found: In intrepid
Apparently the network manager applet does not clear the names of found wlans after / before entering hibernation mode.
This causes a minor inconvenience, 'cause after putting your notebook into hibernation and changing your location, e.g. going to work, the network manager tries to connect to the old wlan.
Therefore one explicitly has to tell the manager to connect to another network.
It would be useful to clear the old names.

NM will not try to connect to a wireless network if its not visible.
If you can reproduce this, please attach a complete syslog taken after reproducing the connect attempt.
