I'm sitting in a Hotel where the hotel's own Wifi has an essid of "Hôtel du Nord' Cell 01 - Address: 00:14:51:72:94:35 ESSID:"Hôtel du Nord" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s 11 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Quality=58/100 Signal level=-66 dBm Extra: Last beacon: 192ms ago 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 -- vbi -- The number of people who tried the Internet and gave up is equal to the number of Internet users.
