Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
This may be a bug in netcfg or debconf but because I encounter it during
installation I will file it here.
I have tried preseeding the name of my WiFi network (ESSID) by providing
different combinations of values for netcfg/wireles_show_essids and
netcfg/wireles_essid.
| case no. | w_s_e | w_e |
|----------+---------+---------|
| 0 | -unset- | -unset- |
| 1 | my_net | -unset- |
| 2 | -unset- | my_net |
| 3 | manual | my_net |
0. The default case. I am presented with a list and able to choose
my_net on it.
1. I get the list of nets in the air with my_net highlighted. I still
need to press [Enter] to continue (BUG).
2. Looks like 0.
3. Looks like 1, except the "Manual" option is highlighted on the
list. (BUG)
I expected that setting ESSID in preseed.cfg like
d-i netcfg/wireless_essid string my_net
would prevent presenting me a list of available networks and make the
installer connect to the one I had set.
If I were to guess what is wrong I'd say netcfg_wireless_show_essids()
doesn't handle preseeding correctly like netcfg_get_interface() does.
