Package: linux-source-3.1
Version: 3.1.5-1
Severity: important
Below is a session to demonstrate the essid-setting-problem. Look out for the
garbled names like 'gÆisQÿJì)ͺ«òûãF|ÂTø\03'. The
ipw2200-version from kernel-source-3.0.0 in comparision did not show this
problem. I classify this error as important, because it breaks programs
like wicd-curses. Even more, on bringing the interface down, the essid is not
properly set to 'off', and the device might continously try to autoconnect to
a new ap.
