[New: openFATE 320237] Installation over WiFi should scan for available ESSID
Feature added by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Feature #320237, revision 1 Title: Installation over WiFi should scan for available ESSID Requested by: Silviu Marin-Caea (silviumc) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When installing TW over WiFi, the system asks the user to enter the ESSID manually. That is unixy, like in the seventies. Nowadays, people expect easy, they expect the system to scan the available networks and present a list to the user to pick from. This is the common way of operating, on every modern system. I've never had to input the ESSID manually anywhere else, except recently, when installing TW. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320237
