[network-admin] does not provide an option to set the ESSID to "any" for wireless network interfaces

[Tobias Heinemann]

In the configure dialog for wireless network interfaces, network-admin lists all
the ESSID's from access points in range. However, if one has specified a
particluar access point previously and would like to revert back to automatic
mode, one has to manually type in "any". This is not a big deal, but still it
would be more convenient if there would be a radio button to select automatic mode.

I've opened a bug upstream about this:

we are talking about this on "can't see available networks"

I have posted that is is probably network admin, and not network manager.

what is weird is that everything seems to work fine on DAPPER, but is horrible on EDGY. I can't understand how something that works ok, and that may have a few bugs goes and gets really bad.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that should be fixed in gutsy, closing, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue though
