Alexander mentioned "network-manager doesn't index by essid/address 
combination".
Not doing so might be a design option to accommodate the case where the same 
essid serves the same network.
A better idea would be to index by the essid/mode/encryption-type and that way 
it wouldn't break the roaming feature.

What I'm trying to say, is that there doesn't seem to be a way to differentiate 
between use cases.
You can have:
- multi-aps infrastructures
- various separate other networks with the same essid
In the current code:
The first point works.
The second point can be helped by the introduction of the changes of the 
indexing mentioned above.
However in the case two networks indexed as follows, linksys/master/wep, I 
don't think anything can be done,
and the networks must be changed to have different essids!

In resume: Careful to not break roaming. Hope this helped in any way.
