Subject: network-manager: Incorrectly autodetects SSID type
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: normal
My wireless SSID is "802". Today, I installed network-manager 0.9.0-2 (along
with plasma-widget-networkmanagement) from Wheezy in order to have a more
unified GUI experience. The widget has no apparent issues, it shows my
wireless interface
and the available networks. But when I select 802, it shows a successful
connection for a very brief moment (less than 1sec)
and then immediately disconnects.
The connection to this AP works with iwconfig/ifconfig/dhclient, it works
managed from /etc/network/interfaces, it works under wicd.
802 has been my SSID since 2007 and this is the first time that has been a
problem.
AP Security: none, open
kernel module: iwl3945
A snippet of dmesg from when it attempts the connection:
NetworkManager[5899]: get_uchar_array: 802-11-wireless / ssid ignoring
invalid byte element '802' (not between 0 and 255 inclusive)
NetworkManager[5899]: ssid_parser: ignoring invalid SSID for 802-11-wireless
/ ssid
NetworkManager[5899]: keyfile: error: invalid or missing connection
property 'ssid'
NetworkManager[5899]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: config ->
disconnected (reason 'connection-removed') [50 30 38]
NetworkManager[5899]: <info> (wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 38).
I discussed this issue with the developers in irc.freenode.net #nm :
<dcbw> sney: I believe that's fixed in current git; you'll want mbiebl to
grab 965d5860ab35df3df586278dfba80fa89e30029a and apply it to the Debian
pacakges
<dcbw> it's a problem with reading and writing the keyfile key for 'ssid'
<dcbw> originally it was a uint list, since ssids are not strings
<dcbw> then because many ssids are strings, we allowed strings
<dcbw> but then we need to handle old configs too, so we needed to
autodetect the string vs. intlist thing
<dcbw> sney: but your bug isn't completely fixed, I'll need to fix it for
you a bit later today
I haven't heard back from him yet, but I'll add any further updates to this
bug report when I get them.
Please let me know if you need anything else. I check email regularly and
can also be found on irc.oftc.net #debian with the handle 'sney'.
