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...
