Profile Exclusions
A user can manage profile exclusions with Intel® PROSet/Wireless Network Connection Software Version 10.5.x, and later, on Windows* 2000 (not with Intel® PROSet 12.x and later) and Windows* XP. Exclude List Management is available when you either select Manage Exclusions from the Profiles menu or click the Properties button on the WiFi Networks list. You are not automatically connected to a network or an access point (AP), or broadband WiFi router, that is on this list.
Use Exclude List Management to exclude entire WiFi networks by Service Set Identifier (SSID), which is the network name. For networks with more than one AP/router, you may exclude an individual Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID), also commonly referred to as the AP/router radio's MAC address. One may find it particularly useful to exclude neighboring BSSIDs in a home or small-office setting. Such action will prevent you from connecting to someone else's WiFi device.
