Alexander, Why do you say that this is not a network-manager issue? essids are just raw values with no concept of encoding, so it doesn't make sense for (e.g.) wireless-tools to try to do a charset conversion on them. Instead, tools that expect UTF8 input (which is likely the case for network-manager, since GNOME libs are heavily UTF8-oriented) should take care to convert non-UTF8 bytes to some representable form (without assuming anything about the encoding).
I think the network-manager task should be reopened here... -- can't connect to networks with non-unicode essids https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
