Bug Description

Whenever I start my laptop from suspend it auto connects to a wireless network, my parents network is called dlink. And in my apartment my neighbors router is also called dlink, I've never used my neighbors wireless and don't know the password. Still the computer auto connects to dlink instead of my own wireless, which has a another name and another password than my parents router.

I also get around 5 windows with "wrong password", which makes sense since I don't have the password for that router. But the windows uses the password for my router.

The work around right now is to disconnect from dlink and connect to my usual network.
