Yep, that's space *and* an o with an accent circumflex. I'm told that the
password of this net is hotel, but as I was told it, and not having gotten
it in written down form, it might as well be Hotel or Hôtel or HÔTEL or
hôtel... But I didn't even get that far as network manager never came as
far as connecting:
May 15 19:08:30 localhost NetworkManager: <info> User request to enable
wireless.
May 15 19:08:52 localhost NetworkManager: <info> Updating allowed wireless
network lists.
May 15 19:08:52 localhost NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_dbus_get_networks_cb():
error received: org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.NoNetworks -
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.NoNetworks.
(Well, somebody close by has an open WiFi with an essid of "default", so I'm
fine ... :-)
I work in an utf-8 locale.
I don't have gnome here, so the problem could be anywhere between
knetworkmanager, network-manager (0.6.6-1) and wireless-tools (29-1) or even
in the kernel or the WiFi driver (2.6.25-1 on 686 and ipw2200) I've no idea.
Of course, I'm only staying tonight, so I won't be able to do further
testing, but perhaps anybody who knows the code has a sudden inspiration
what could be the cause, or has a spare WiFi router to do experiments
with... (I don't even own a WiFi router, so no I can't do experiments.
Sorry...)
And yes, somebody should whack the person who configured this over his head.
cheers
