Linux Gnome: Networkmanger Connects To Wrong Default Wireless Access Point

Q. I’m using Ubuntu Linux and my Gnome network manger always connects to wrong default WAP / AP after login ( boot ). How do I fix this problem?

A. To fix this problem go to ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks directory and remove SSID directory. If your SSID is set to nixcraft, remove following directory:
rm -rf ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/nixcraft
Restart Gnome or restart system to test new changes.

Your support makes a big difference:

I have a small favor to ask. More people are reading the nixCraft. Many of you block advertising which is your right, and advertising revenues are not sufficient to cover my operating costs. So you can see why I need to ask for your help. The nixCraft takes a lot of my time and hard work to produce. If everyone who reads nixCraft, who likes it, helps fund it, my future would be more secure. You can donate as little as $1 to support nixCraft:
