Dear All,
Not sure if this is a bug, but if I disconnect a wireless interface from
network manager, the result of iwconfig's ESSID becomes gibberish.
I have no idea where the value of
\x90\xef\xfd\x...@dub5\xab3q8\xe2\xcf\xdc\x8db+\xa3\x9f\x1d\xaa1\x82\xa4\xfa\xdczsl
comes from, or what it means!
Here is an example:
1. While NM is connected to the network
$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"26PPWG602"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point:
00:0C:F6:7E:FA:18
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=65/70 Signal level=-45 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
2. Immediately after disconnecting the Wifi, via the NM gui
$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"\x90\xef\xfd\x...@dub5\xab3q8\xe2\xcf
\xDC\x8Db+\xA3\x9F\x1D\xAA1\x82\xA4\xFA\xDCZsl"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point:
Not-Associated
Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
3. After running ifconfig wlan0 down
$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point:
Not-Associated
Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
