Comment:

 From duplicate bug #1552:

 > reproduced on 0.84 and 0.86 and at http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9645 :

 > My home network has 2 APs on the same physical network. They have the
 same SSID and security settings for obvious reasons. sugar-0.82 showed a
 single entry for this network, sugar-0.84+ shows one circle per AP.

 > GNOME NM applet does not have this problem, because it has logic to only
 show 1 menu entry. see get_menu_item_for_ap() in applet-device-wifi.c.
 Equivalent logic is missing from sugar.
