Package: network-manager Followup-For: Bug #465338 Just to help user and getting the thing fixed if anybody goes faster than I (which would not be that hard as I am still looking around searching for where wpa_supplicant garbles the essid from drivers/driver_wext.c wpa_driver_wext_get_ssid (called by where it looks ok to ctrl_iface_dbus_handlers.c wpas_dbus_bssid_properties where it is corrupted). The easiest way to fix the issue is to downgrade the kernel to 2.6.23. Downgrading anything else changes nothing (tried glib as I upgraded to 2.15 beforehand and wpasupplicant). But the issue looks like it should be best fixed in wpasupplicant (though the git is offline right now which does not help in finding out if a fix has already been found, thus I am trying on my side). I opened bugs upstream for NetworkManager but not yet for wpasupplicant (as I don't know yet what the issue is): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515848 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-February/msg00094.html
What weird and that may explains the bug has gone unoticed is that wpasupplicant wpa_gui scan shows correct output. Only wpasupplicant dbus output is corrupted as it seems. The bug does not affect 0.6.5 as it still uses the socket interface which is not affected.
