Wicd with Multiple APs with same SSID

Ok, so I've been using wicd to managed my wireless.  It works great.  My scenario is this.

I have many AP's in my office that are the same SSID.  I would like to connect to a specific AP
to do some testing but wicd keeps connecting to the one with the most signal strength.

My Question is, is there a way to override that behavior and force it to connect to this one AP?

Thanks!

Go to the network properties and uncheck "Use these settings for all networks sharing this essid".

Edit:
And probably uncheck "Automatically connect to this network".

take a look here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/nat … onf.5.html
the bssid (mac adress of the ap) is the part you need
hope it helps
