RFE: reorder wifi networks
Last modified: 2020-11-12 14:25:46 UTC
copied from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636839 a left click on the nm icon will show wifi networks in alphabetical order. I think that could be improved. I'd like to suggest to reorder this to 1) networks the user has successfully (!) connected to in the past 2) open networks (no WEP/WAP) 3) protected networks network-manager is version 0.8-0ubuntu3
See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/658302 copied text: The menu that appears when left clicking the network applet icon in the bar at top does not sort the found WLAN network by signal strength/power. So it happens that the AP in my room is not listed in the menu, but only in the Other networks submenu, even it of has the strongest signal.
> in the Other networks submenu The sub-menu name is actually "More networks" So now we have: - Anet - Bnet - Cnet - DonnieWLAN - Exxx And the the rest under "More networks": - Golf - Lima - Sugar - ... This division makes no sense.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
