I'm using `196883` but I want to use `calleva`. There are two of it because `08:...` is the actual AP and `9C:...` is a range extender.

Code:

$ sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/196883.nmconnection[connection]id=196883uuid=28ca0ccd-b4b0-4390-9b36-a4e23a85c2bctype=wifiautoconnect-priority=5interface-name=wlan0timestamp=1728055143[wifi]mode=infrastructuressid=196883[wifi-security]auth-alg=openkey-mgmt=wpa-pskpsk=TopSecretPassword[ipv4]method=auto[ipv6]addr-gen-mode=defaultmethod=auto[proxy]~ $

and

Code:

$ sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/preconfigured.nmconnection[connection]id=callevauuid=4aa8c6a8-7efe-4993-a1c6-eab9bfc3c7f5type=wifiautoconnect-priority=3timestamp=1729764433[wifi]bssid=9C:3D:CF:E2:56:5Emode=infrastructuressid=calleva[wifi-security]key-mgmt=wpa-pskpsk=TopSecretPassword[ipv4]method=auto[ipv6]addr-gen-mode=defaultmethod=auto[proxy]~ $

I had hoped that it would connect to `calleva` but it always connects to `196883`.
