Bug#671351: "Use these settings for all networks sharing this essid" does not work
Hi, I faced similar behaviour. When I've used the option it didn't seem to affect all access points with the same essid. My problem was that /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf file contained records for some of the access points I've already accessed before. For these AP the cached (not working) configuration was used. I manually removed all such records from the configuration file, restarted wicd, and problem was solved. ZL -- Zdenek Letko

Something I noticed is that if I save the setting to apply to all AP's sharing the essid, go back and see APs with the same essid, it's not applied. But going back to the list, refreshing, and then looking at APs with the same essid, it's applied. Best wishes, Ryan signature.asc Description: Digital signature

If you open up /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf in an editor, is there a section like [essid:eduroam] ? Kindly, David -- . ''`.

Bug#671351: "Use these settings for all networks sharing this essid" does not work
Package: wicd-curses Version: 1.7.2.3-1 Severity: normal When editing an access point marked with "Use these settings for all networks sharing this essid", changes fail to propagate to other access points with the same essid. For example, I checked [X] Automatically connect to this network on the first 'eduroam' access point on the list, hit F10 to save the changes and go back to the main menu and selected the second 'eduroam' ap on the list. The box was not checked, although going back to the first one, I see that it was successfully saved. Similar issues occur when setting the identity for PEAP with GTC, and probably occur when trying to change other settings. Similarly, editing an essid for the first time, and selecting the "Use these settings for all networks sharing this essid" does not propagate changes to other networks sharing the essid. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to es_ES.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd-curses depends on: ii python2.7.2-10 ii python-urwid 1.0.1-2 ii wicd-daemon 1.7.2.3-1 Versions of packages wicd-curses recommends: ii sudo 1.8.3p2-1 wicd-curses suggests no packages.
