NetworkDirector just does not seem to work for me, or at least on the networks I am on. It might have to do in this case that there are over a dozen APs scanable with the SSID of IEEE. I have just NOT had success with NetworkDirector. I have read posts here that others have had similar problems. And over on the Gnome Network Manager list, there are lots of problems noted with the version we have for Centos, so we have to live with our short-comings. I made some progress but still do not have it all back together again.
