How are the characters represented in "iwlist scan"?
I'm not quite sure about this but the 802.11 standard specifies the ssid
as a plain byte array. Hence the access point might use a different encoding
than the client. AFAIK wpa_supplicant allows to enter a hex ssid, not sure
about KNM and ifup.

Anyone knows if theres a problem with KNetworkManager or ifup in
connecting to wireless networks with ESSIDs containing special
characteres like º, ª, ã, and others?
