Netcfg and open networks. 3open networks, and netcfg connects to all 3
I have a problem with the wifi network @ school. There are 3 open networks: Student, Personal and Extern.
I want to connect to Student but it randomly connects to Personal and Extern everytime I "sudo netcfg Student.conf".
And I've specified ESSID=Student, but still it connects to the other networks! And it seems to be a problem for it to find a network to some time, probably becuase the schools WIFI sucks.

Use the IWOPTS field in your netcfg profiles to specify the address of a particular access point, using iwconfig's ap option. man iwconfig for details.

I added:
IWOPTS="10.250.10.255"and it didn't work, also tried
GATEWAY="10.250.10.255"and it didn't work either. Think I have to talk to someone at school.

You're not using IWOPTS correctly. Read man iwconfig, and look for the 'ap' option. The usage is given there, including examples. Then look at /etc/network.d/examples/complete.example to see how that information is applied to a netcfg profile.
