Mobility Site - View Single Post - Unable to force connect in Dell Wireless Utility w/ A03

I posted this in the Wireless forums a few weeks back but didnt get any responses so I thought I'd post here:

I believe I first noticed this issue in the A02 ROM, but it's also present in A03. Basically in the Dell Wireless Utility while scanning for networks it presents a list of networks detected. It used to be that I could hold the stylus over a network, the little ring of dots would come up, and I got the option to Connect. Now what happens is holding the stylus produces that ring, but no Connect option. Instead, I have to wait until I get the pop up box presenting me with the option to connect to a network via Work or the Internet. Anyone else have this problem? I'm wondering if I can solve it by trying the Odyssey client. The problem is sometimes a network will have a poor signal, but I will want to force a connect to it anyway, but instead I have to keep waiting while it scans the network for it to latch on to the signal and present me with the option to connect.
