Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.5.5-4 Severity: normal Hello,
I just hat to swear once again about wpa_supplicant. After consolidation of my config some weeks ago I have kept "wpa-essid" directions there, and I assumed that they are correct because nothing complained. However, it does not work! wpa-ssid seems to be the correct one but that is not obvious, and "essid" is the usual word for it, why should I look for "ssid"? IMO wpa_supplicant should either accept wpa-essid (since those who are switching from WEP had wep-essid in the config, not wep-ssid, *sic*), or complain about unknown options but not let the user puzzle over the weird and unexplainable misbehaviour.
