Title:
  network-manager unreliable with multiple APs

Status in NetworkManager:

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  Ubuntu 7.04 (PPC)
  Broadcom 4306 (bcm43xx driver)

  Network manager is totally unreliable when I use it at my University,
  where there are multiple APs.

  It drops the connection all the time, and when (more like if) it
  manages to reconnect it doesn't re-establish the lost VPN connection.
  I am trying to connect to this one wireless network, "central" - there
  is one AP on channel 1 and one on channel 11. It works fine if I
  configure my device manually through iwconfig to channel 1, maybe n-m
  tries to keep switching between the two or something, then
  occasionally it just randomly roams to a completely different network
  for no reason. This should be apparent from my daemon.log.

  All the APs are of similar strength, and as I said they work fine
  configured manually without n-m which has been a complete pain in the
  backside ever since it was included in Feisty.
