Public bug reported: Binary package hint: wlassistant
If I connect to a hidden accesspoint, wlassistant says the connection fails. But if I try the connection with ping, firefox etc. I can use the internet with this connection. Here is my output, if I run wlassistant from the konsole: $ sudo wlassistant ScimInputContextPlugin() Loaded application options. DHCP Client: dhclient All executables found. iwconfig_status: /sbin/iwconfig ==>stderr: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions.
