Title:
  nm connects to far away access points since #83 mako & flo

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  For a few images now, on mako and flo my devices seem to cling onto
  access points which are far away rather than nearby ones.

  At home I have two access points named such that I know which is which
  (popey_2.4_bed & popey_2.4_den).

  When I boot up an Ubuntu device (phone/tablet) they always seem to
  attach to the far away access point and stay on it until I forcibly
  choose the other access point.

  I notice this a lot because I find using the phone slow because it's
  using the 'bed' AP which is at the other end of the house and through
  a few walls, whereas the 'den' one is right next to me in the office.
