Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Turns out the "Free Public WiFi" ad hoc networks that are seemingly *everywhere* are actually just bugs in Windows XP.
It would be nice if Network Manager would detect this and just filter these from view. They're highly annoying and I've helped more than a few family members/friends trying to connect to these fakey access points in vain.
