Network Manager not reusing Wireless connections

[Luis Alvarado]

When I create a new wireless connection, for example "shared". After rebooting the shared connection does not appear in any of the wireless cards and I have to create it again. When I do create it again, in the wireless settings it appears as "Shared 1" and the first shared also appears there but does not appear when trying to create a new wireless connection again and it does not appear in any of the 2 wireless cards I have for quick selection.

Network Manager is not reusing the already created wireless connection.

Is the wireless network for which you defined a wireless connection "hidden"?

[Luis Alvarado (luisalvarado)]

No is not hidden. In any case the problem has been fixed updating to the latest packages. Tested several times and eerything is working correctly again. Thank you.

[Luis Alvarado (luisalvarado)]

Fix has been commited in a previous update.
