Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
When attempting to create a wireless network with a '-' in the name, the network manager changes to show the trying to connect icon (the 2 dots with the spinner flying around them) and then never completes. Hovering the mouse over this displays a pop up that says "Attempting to join the wireless network '(null)'".
The exact details to reproduce are very straight-forward:
1- Click on the networkmanager icon in the system tray
2- Click on "Create new wireless network"
3- Enter a name for the network that contains a '-', e.g., test-laptop
4- Observe that the icon then changes to trying to connect icon
5- Hover the mouse over the icon and see it says "Attempting to join the wireless network '(null)'"
I am having other issues with this laptop, in that the wireless behaviour seems entirely erratic at the best of times. I have however confirmed this bug on another computer that does work fine.

Hi there
do you still experience this issue with the current version of the application?, could you please try to reproduce this using the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron.
Thanks in advance
