[Bug 207232] New: SSID with Umlauts (at least german ü) makes knetworkmanager unusable
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=207232 Summary: SSID with Umlauts (at least german ü) makes knetworkmanager unusable Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Keywords: German Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: me@xto.de QAContact: qa@suse.de I discovered that a SSID (no matter if broadcasted or not) with German Umlauts fails. (WLAN-Router: FritzBOX 7170, WPA1) - should be fixed. If you can enter umlauts they should be supported. I changed my SSID, but thanks for a better future :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In that case it depends on used encoding how to interpret each character and NM can't make any assumption on which encoding the AP is using. So it can't work with non-broadcast SSIDs. Does wireless tools handle it correctly ('iwlist ethX scan' , does the scanned ESSID match the one you specified on the AP)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Do you need the original one? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
