Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.0+ds1-5 Severity: normal At a hotel, the ESSID was "Réseau de Hotel du Nord". (It was an "Apple Airport Something" access point.)
"iwlist scan" showed the essid as "R\xC3\xA9seau de Hotel du Nord" and wicd saved it in the wpasupplicant configuration in this "\x" escaped format ("R\xC3\xA9seau de Hotel du Nord") while the UTF-8 encoded ESSID ("Réseau de Hotel du Nord") would have been the right format. It seems as if wicd should decode the "\x" escapes in ESSIDs back to real characters/bytes when saving the wpasupplicant configuration to make such setups work. I use wicd-curses to select and configure the wireless network. Not sure if the bug is in wicd-daemon or in wicd-curses. Please feel free to reassign the bug appropriately. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wicd-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.149 Debian Configuration Management Sy ii dbus 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii iproute 20100519-3 networking and traffic control too ii iputils-ping 3:20100418-1 Tools to test the reachability of ii isc-dhcp-client [dhcp3-clie 4.1.1-P1-7 ISC DHCP client ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii psmisc 22.11-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii python 2.6.5-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-dbus 0.83.1-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-gobject 2.21.1-2 Python bindings for the GObject li ii python-iniparse 0.3.2-1 Module to access and modify config ii python-wicd 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager ii udhcpc 1:1.15.3-1 Provides the busybox DHCP client i ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-5 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel ii wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages wicd-daemon recommends: ii wicd-cli [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager ii wicd-curses [wicd-client] 1.7.0+ds1-5 wired and wireless network manager Versions of packages wicd-daemon suggests: ii pm-utils 1.3.0-2 utilities and scripts for power ma Versions of packages wicd depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.149 Debian Configuration Management Sy ii dbus 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii iproute 20100519-3 networking and traffic control too ii iputils-ping 3:20100418-1 Tools to test the reachability of ii isc-dhcp-client [dhcp3-clie 4.1.1-P1-7 ISC DHCP client ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii psmisc 22.11-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii python 2.6.5-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-dbus 0.83.1-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-glade2 2.17.0-2 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gtk2 2.17.0-2 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-support 1.0.9 automated rebuilding support for P ii python-urwid 0.9.9.1-1 curses-based UI/widget library for ii udhcpc 1:1.15.3-1 Provides the busybox DHCP client i ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-5 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel ii wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I wicd-cli depends on no packages.
