Comment:
I got the impression from talking to Scott that he is OK with an extra
button in the control panel to take care of this. I also feel that
modifying the nmclient/nminfo code is risky in this stage of 8.2
development. And the proposal of considering both ESSID and BSSID raises
difficult questions such as:
* What if we have a key for ESSID A BSSID B, and we connect to a network
with ESSID A BSSID C? Do we try to reuse the key? Should we? Security
risks here..particularly if one uses shared key auth
* What if we have a key for ESSID A BSSID B, and we have a different key
for ESSID A BSSID C, and both of them are in range. Do we display both on
the network view? How does the user differentiate between them?
I've attached a patch which adds a button to the control panel to clear
the nminfo cache and write an updated config file.
