networks with empty ssid not listed in interpid

[event.riga]

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>
                    ESSID:""
                    Mode:Master
                    Channel:6
                    Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
                    Quality=100/100 Signal level:-56 dBm Noise level=-98 dBm
...
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_get_access_point ll. 1146-1148:
        if (nm_ap_get_ssid (ap))
            g_ptr_array_add (*aps, g_strdup (nm_ap_get_dbus_path (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~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1.8.10.2

Thank you in advance,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release the Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Unfortunately the network doesn't exist anymore around me. Thus I unfotunately cannot test
