Order of WiFi connection
 
Is there a way to set the order (priority) of WiFi connection?

I have two at home, work and private, the work line always connects first but its a special line than can only be used for VPN to the office so I have to disconnect and reconnect to my home line.

Normally you can move the connection up and down in a list to set priority of connection but I can't see anyware to do this.

I don't know a way, but I've noticed that the one last used tends to stay at the top (e.g. I have two setups for the same connection, one with proxy and the other withouth, plus my phone. Of those three the last used one stays at top).

My last used Wifi also stays at the top of the list but it connects to the one with the strongest signal, if I stand near the work access point it connects to that and if i stand near the home router it connects to that.

Don't know if any app or a way to do it. I also like to see a way to sort on strongest signal. Mine does not do that. It may connect that way but when you are given the choice, the sorting is random.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problems with maemo-bluetooth-plugin
I would love an opportunity to set options / many options in bluetooth.ini/config file to let me work with 2 gps units once a time.
This option is on TODO list by Nokia, but no time line is set yet.
Linux/Debian is excellent free-/open source environment.
Unfortunately not fitted to individual application user.
I am tryuing hard to find a developer to tell me how to modify packages/ modify source and recompile them.
But it may take months.
So I would prefer editable bluetooth.ini files + some scripting to let me modify .bluetooth.ini file/s interactive way.

And for WiFi connections I would prefer an option to save hot spots to a file, to make some sorting, geocoding and more.

Linux/debian is open-source, free software but commercial application are more user-friendly and show much more interest in user's needs.
Today I will contact Nokia developers about maemo-bt-plugin
to see what can be done.

Frankly speaking I would iPhone + GPS +Wifi + Bluetooth
and a set of user-friendly tools.

My programming experience backs from Algol, Fortran, Cobol, Pascal, Basic, VBasic, JavaScript , PHP and especially with scripting languages
like PHP, JS, applications can be modified in a matter of hours, not months.
I develop Google Maps API applications, Naviteq applications, Google pipes applications as a developer, unfortunately have no experience to develop and port any application to Nokia tablet yet.

Maemo developers I have contacted, show no interest in new features, any user-interaction or interest.
Does it really mean, writing and porting an application to Nokia 770/800 is really so complicated and time-consuming ?

If so, it's a bottleneck on a way to make Nokia tablets a hot commercial product.

Darius
