I've already applied this patch to the NM in our yum-repository, and the user that reported the problem is now happily connecting to her wireless network. But since the patch is not included in the official distribution, this only fixes the problem for our employees. I'm not a programmer so I won't comment on the generality of the patch, but something like that is definitively needed in the official release.

Sounds like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167517 . There is a patch there as well, but I'm not sure why it hasn't been taken in. NM people: Is the patch b0rken in some way? Because of this bug, NetworkManager works for me in about half the places I try it. I'd be willing to take a stab at patching it, too, but not until someone tells me what's wrong with the one already there. :) (A weakness of the patch is that it assumes latin-1 as the only fallback charset. I'm not sure what would be smarter - substituting all non-utf8 characters with "-" or something would be pretty ugly, but at least it would be the same ugly for everyone...)

Non-ascii characters in SSID crashes NM
Hello, A user reported to me that NM crashes when the SSID of on of the detected wireless networks contained non-ascii characters, in this case the Norwegian letters "å" and "ø". (In Norwegian, "wireless" is "trådløs".) The mentioned user runs FC3 and NM-0.3.4-4.1.0.fc3, but i though this was worth mentioning anyway, in case the bug is still present in the current versions.
