Make 'ifconfig nwid' override 'ifconfig join'.
There was no way to override a decision made by join's network selection algorithm (apart from disabling the feature by clearing the join list). Automatic selection is based on heuristics which cannot always guess correctly so we need to provide an override. One specific problem was that if 'nwid foo' and 'nwid bar' were both visible in the scan and only 'nwid foo' was a member of the join list, then there was no way at all to connect to 'nwid bar'. The wireless stack would keep selecting 'nwid foo' instead. 'ifconfig iwm0 nwid bar' command will now disable automatic network selection and force the use of ESSID 'bar'. Any of these commands will re-enable automatic network selection: ifconfig iwm0 -nwid ifconfig iwm0 nwid '' ifconfig iwm0 join some-network-id ok phessler@ deraadt@
