Bug Description
On startup NM often (read: almost always) connects to the wrong (i.e. not mine) wireless network. There should be a way to set a "prefered" network, or to blacklist certain networks.

I'll mark this report a duplicate of another old bug report (#46123) that actually points to an upstream Gnome bug report. Interestingly that Gnome report mentions that the order of network network-manager seems to be alphabet-based. So maybe I should start naming my home wireless network "aaaaa" to have priority over my neighbours networks.
