Re: NetworkManager switches between networks

[Roger Heflin]

Usually switching means that one lost a signal and so it logged back in and
found a different connection.

I do not believe Networkmanger will disconnect a working connection and
switch to another.

My laptop would at random lose wifi and sometimes reconnect and I "fixed"
that by getting a new $20 intel m2 card to replace the one already in the
laptop and that works much better.   My old card was not an intel.

What kind of wifi card do you have?   And do you have the 2 wifi networks
named differently?   even if you had a prefer one, if that wifi was down at
that instant it would pick the other one.
