System and Network configuration • Blocking A Specific SSID

I'm not sure I'd be using Network Manager if I wanted to lock a machine to a single SSID. The way I do it is by hashing the wpa key and configuring wireless in /etc/network/interfaces - this will prevent NM from managing the wireless connection. Looks like this - You don't have to hash the passphrase in /etc/network/interfaces but I prefer to do so - plain text will work just fine.

How to get the hash? Glad you asked when generating a hash if your passphrase contains spaces enclose it in double quotes but don't quote a plaintext key in /etc/network/interfaces.

Hope this helps -
