I am fairly sure that this issue needs to be reported to the NetworkManager list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list I'm tracking that list, and development of NetworkManger, even though at the moment I can't use it due to driver issues. As I understand the current state of play, NetworkManager *ought* to do exactly what you want it to---i.e. connect to the last one you chose given the current choices. However, many of the current problems (including mine) are nothing to do with NetworkManager but are problems with the various wireless drivers. The NetworkManager-list seems to be very active, and you should report your problem there. Even if you have to subscribe to it just for this problem, you can unsubscribe to it after a couple of weeks if your only interest is in reporting this problem. Once the drivers are beaten into better shape NetworkManager is going to be one of the coolest applications ever.
