When several wireless networks are available, NetworkManager connects to one of the strongest SSID and there is no way (taht I know) to prioritize them.
Example: in Spain we have a SSID wireless network that encompass most universities, "eduroam". I have that network defined and it connects ok. But when I am in MY university, which has an eduroam SSID available, I want to connect to the local "comillas" network, even if eduroam is stronger in signal because the firewalls are configured differently and, for example, I can print only when connected to it.
NetworkManager should have a way to mark "preferred" networks, to use even if there are other and stronger networks in sight. |

NetworkManager now will connect to the strongest or, if they are (they typically are) at the same strenght, to one of them randomly.
