When auto profile selection is enabled by checking Auto Select Profiles on the Profile
Management tab, the client adapter scans for an available network. The profile with the
highest priority and the same SSID as one of the found networks is the one that is used
to connect to the network. If the connection fails, the client adapter tries the next highest
priority profile that matches the SSID, and so on.
With auto profile selection enabled, the wireless adapter scans for available networks. The
highest priority profile with the same SSID as a found network is used to connect to the network.
On a failed connection, the client adapter tries with the next highest priority profile.
