Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I am at a hotel in Quebec where the ESSID is "Chambre 100 รก 101". I am
able to connect using Wifi-radar, but NetworkManager can't even see the
network, though it can see others. I have restarted my computer a couple
of times, and booted directly from an Ubuntu 7.04 CD to ensure it wasn't
just my upgraded (from 6.10) system configuration.
Wifi-radar incidentally shows the network as "Chambre 100 ? 101". If I
sudo killall NetworkManager
sudo NetworkManager
to restart the NetworkManager (even on a fresh boot!) then
NetworkManager can see the networks in question, however it has thus far
not been able to even get one of the two green status dots.
I have been connecting to all sorts of Networks with Network Manager and
this is the first one I've come across with an extended character in the
ESSID name and so I am just guessing this might be the problem,
especially considering that it's showing up as a question mark in other
programs.
