netctl-auto Is Not Observing Priority

I have been using netctl with a single profile for the past few months without issue. My universities network offers a (much faster) WPA network in addition to a (more available) guest network. I am trying to configure netctl-auto to connect to these profiles using the Priority parameter in the profiles. I have set Priority=100 for WPA and Priority=75 for the guest network. Whenever I reboot my machine the guest network is selected and activated by netctl-auto even though the priority is set to use WPA.

Would anyone have any insight as to why the priority is being ignored?

Re: netctl-auto Is Not Observing Priority

I am having a similar issue, and would like to have a fix. I have 3 competing profiles, two guest networks and one eduroam. The first two profiles are simple, set up pretty much exactly as examples/wireless-open, and have Priority=1 and =2, respectively. The eduroam account contains a WPAConfigSection, and has Priority=3. Netctl-auto will not ahdere to these priorities. In order to start eduroam,  I need to “netctl-auto disable” both guest profiles.
