Do you happen to know, can I somehow make ExcludeAuto=yes the default when wifi-menu connects to a new router?
]]>But I don't see the mysterious routers in that file. The ones I find myself connected to, that I never connected to myself.
... Looking over that file again, I see a strange entry:
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
ssid=""
id_str="wlp3s0-none"
}
I'm going to delete that. I believe it comes from a time I connected to an essid without a name. But I'm not sure if that's the culprit.

It is quite disconcerting...
Dave, did you find solution for this issue?
]]>Recently, and more than once, I'm connected at a public cafe and I'm suddenly no longer able to reach the internet.
When I investigate, I find that I'm no longer connected to the cafe's wifi, but I am connected to some other essid that I've never seen before. This is disconcerting for possible security reasons but also annoying to get disconnected in the middle of whatever I'm doing.
The essids that my box connects to I've never seen before. (I'm assuming the come from nearby computers.) There is no corresponding profile in /etc/netctl.
To work around the problem, I run
sudo systemctl stop netctl-auto@wlp3s0.service; sudo wifi-menu
then reconnect to the access point I was originally connected to.
I really don't want netctl-auto to change a connection that is working. How can I prevent this from ever happening?
