I use wpa_supplicant + wpa_gui and it usually works fine. However, when 
many APs have the same name it often fails to connect or becomes very 
clunky.

When such network name (with many APs) is left in wpa_supplicant.conf, 
other networks often fail to connect until the multiple name is removed.

Anybody has any insight as of what the problem might be?
