Bug Description
I work in an office with a number of access points and I work in different offices. Depending on the room I'm in the access point with the strongest signal is not the same.
What you expected to happen:
Network Manager should try to connect to the stored wifi network with the strongest signal and not follow the list blindly.
What happened instead:
When I put my laptop on sleep and go to another office, Network Manager tries to connect to the first network that was added instead of the one with the strongest signal.
---
Maybe one could check how Android manages Wifi connection and copy its code (it's a linux OS), because Android seems to connect to the strongest signal instead.
Using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bit.
network-manager version: 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
