Description
Lets call it the conference conditions - one essid and several Access Points. The question is how I limit the displaying best.

erikos, can you explain a bit more what you're talking about? I've noticed (and complained about to tomeu) that while Build-801 (Sugar 0.82.1 + NetworkManager 0.6) shows one entry per ESSID, sugar-jhbuild on DebXo with NetworkManager 0.7 shows each single AP, so the whole screen is cluttered when I'm at university. This might be exactly what this bug is about, or maybe not.

Yes, sounds like. I guess the scenario you are seeing is: several access points - and one essid (Roaming). Currently we show each access point in the mesh view.

Exactly. Since 0.82.1 only showed a single entry per ESSID, I'd almost call it a regression.
How about just reverting to the old behaviour of showing ESSIDs instead of APs? Is there any value in listing each AP separately?

From duplicate bug #1552:
reproduced on 0.84 and 0.86 and at http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9645 :
My home network has 2 APs on the same physical network. They have the same SSID and security settings for obvious reasons. sugar-0.82 showed a single entry for this network, sugar-0.84+ shows one circle per AP.
GNOME NM applet does not have this problem, because it has logic to only show 1 menu entry. see get_menu_item_for_ap() in applet-device-wifi.c. Equivalent logic is missing from sugar.

Please review attached patch. It fixes the issue and has been tested on sugar-jhbuild
comment:7 Changed 14 years ago by dsd
review comments from IRC:
- calculate max strength with max([0] + [ap.strength for ap in self._access_points.values()])
- move AccessPoint class into model
- remove duplicated dbus async request handlers and fix logging.debug() of errors
- 2 blank lines between classes
- need to add logic for deleting old network if its only AP changes identity
- hoping for comments from Simon too

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
committed to master, thanks for reviewing
I'm guessing we still need to discuss how to solve this and will involve UI additions. Moving to 0.86.
