hp-wificonfig fails with core dump

[Boyd Kelly]

Running from hplip 3.17.11 on Fedora Rawhide hp-wificonfig after seeming to connect to printer ends with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/hplip/ui5/wifisetupdialog.py", line 754, in NextButton_clicked
    self.showExitPage()
  File "/usr/share/hplip/ui5/wifisetupdialog.py", line 573, in showExitPage
    self.ip, subnetmask, gateway, pri_dns, sec_dns, addressmode = self.wifiobj.getwifiotherdetails(self.dev,self.adapterName)
AttributeError: 'WifiSetupDialog' object has no attribute 'wifiobj'
Aborted (core dumped)

(When runnning from with device manager, only the Back and Cancel buttons are active after printer seemingly connects. No possibility to complete installation.

Is your wireless-capable device one which is supported by this utility?

Cheers,

Brian.

I can also confirm the very same bug on Fedora 26 running 3.17.11-3.fc26

I was trying to connect an HP Deskjet 3050 j610 printer to a WiFi network with a hidden SSID and WPA2 protection. After ~1h of fighting with hplip I opened another Access Point without any protection and with a public SSID, connected the printer to it using hplip (without any hassle) and opened the embedded website where I specified the correct credentials of the original, protected network. Everything worked as expected thereafter.

I assume there is a problem with WPA2 and/or hidden SSIDs.

Yeah it has always worked in the past. Some update of something has broken
it.

Same problem. I use mobile hotspot and have no chance to configure the wifi hotspot in term of "protection".

[Matthew Darwin (bugs-mdarwin)]

Same problem with HPLaserJet P1102w on Ubuntu 18.04 (beta)

[Robin Kirchner (lootbox)]

I have the same printer (HPLaserJet P1102w) and get the same error on Ubuntu 16.10 LTS.

[kkivi (kkivi)]

ubuntu 18.04, HPLaserJet P1102w
same problem

Hi,
This bug is caused by typo in property call wifiobj. It is supposed to be wifiObj. Im including patch which fixes it.
