I would *hope* that would work, but my recollection of that screen is that it only appears once you’ve *logged into* the network. If you don’t know the password, no dice.

But it could be that my recollection is fuzzy. All I know is that this worked like a charm for me, with no more “WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONNECT TO LINKSYS?” prompts.

OK, how about a much easier solution than installing hacks and typing in Terminal commands… Although I haven’t had the problem you describe yet so haven’t been able to test this…

Go into Settings -> General -> Network and choose the Linksys network and click the little blue arrow on the right to go into the network settings. Then right at the top of the page is a big “Forget this Network” button. I would guess that would do the trick.

I find it strange that you call it “the linkysys bug,” when it has very little do with anything linksys did.
