Correct, you cannot. It's not clear why you say "in the same manner...", because this is regardless of whether your enslave a Wi-Fi profile to a bond or not. A Wi-Fi profile in NetworkManager (currently) always requires to specify the exact SSID (AP name). Maybe it's a missing feature, but it's not clear to me that this would be very useful. Because, commonly each network (SSID) also comes with distinct set of authentication parameters (password). best, Thomas
