Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have a network in range which has it's essid empty 'iwlist wlan0 scan' shows this:
...
Cell 02 - Address: <Address is here>
...
But nm-applet doesn't list this network
I've took a look in the code and it looks like the problem is in nm-device-wifi.c in function impl_device_
if (nm_ap_get_ssid (ap))
Which results in access points with empty essid not being published. Unfortunately I've failed to build the package thus cannot attach a patch :(
I use xubuntu interpid and network-manager 0.7~~svn2008101
Thank you in advance,
