Bug#757478: netcfg: cannot connect to any wifi network using manual essid
Control: tag -1 confirmed pending Control: found -1 1.108+deb7u1 Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (2014-08-08): I cannot connect to any wifi network when entering a manual ESSID. After entering the ESSID I always get the message: Network chosen: (null). Proceeding to connect. There seems to be a small error in wireless.c where the ESSID entered by the user is never stored anywhere (producing the (null) above). I've attached a patch which fixes this issue for me. Uh-oh, that looks like a quite silly bug indeed! If nobody else gets to it before me I'll try to reproduce locally and confirm the patch. (I haven't looked at the surrounding code yet.) Bug indeed confirmed for jessie and wheezy; patch confirmed as well (on jessie only for now), judging by the INFO output change only… [ Hopefully kvm USB passthrough works better than last time I tried. ] … because I can apparently only list available ESSIDs; actually connecting fails to I couldn't test a full installation. I'll push the patch shortly to git, upload to sid, and push a backport to the wheezy branch as well. Many thanks again! Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
