Here in campus we have 2 networks: eduroam-open, which is open and very restricted eduroam, which requires authentication and is less restricted.
I have 3 questions. 1. How to actually select the network to use? I was trying nm-applet but NetworkManager seems to fallback to eduroam-open simply becase it thinks it is "better": > Oct 12 18:45:16 t42-debian NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth1) New > wireless user key requested for network 'eduroam'. > Oct 12 18:45:16 t42-debian NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth1) Stage 2 > of 5 (Device Configure) complete. > Oct 12 18:45:22 t42-debian NetworkManager: <info> SWITCH: found better > connection 'eth1/eduroam-open' than current connection 'eth1/eduroam'. > same_ssid=0, have_link=1 > Oct 12 18:45:22 t42-debian NetworkManager: <info> Will activate connection > 'eth1/eduroam-open'. 2. Where does nm-editor store network passwords? Are those files encrypted in any way? 3. This is not the first time I am having problems with NetworkManager here on Debian, so I think I will get rid of it. The question is how to switch between available WiFi connections without NetworkManager. For instance I could store network connection parameters unencrypted in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (-rw-------, root:root). How to make WPA Supplicant select the network I want?
