Public bug reported:
I have a rtl8180-based wireless pcmcia card. After I upgraded to feisty,
I found that iwconfig cannot set the essid correctly. It lost the last
letter. Let's see the example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid private
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 802.11b ESSID:"privat"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate=11 Mb/s
Retry:on Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:34/100 Signal level:-111 dBm Noise level:-190 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid privatee
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 802.11b linked ESSID:"private"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.457 GHz Access Point: 00:90:00:18:03:25
Bit Rate=11 Mb/s
Retry:on Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=73/100 Signal level=-111 dBm Noise level=-229 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
Linux lqs-laptop 2.6.20-13-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 25 00:21:25 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux
I have to connect to "privatee" if I actually want to connect to "private".
This only happened with a rtl8180-based card, using r818x driver. It doesn't
happen with another cards, such as atheros cards.
The nm-applet also cannot set it correctly.
