[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#465338: network-manager: garbled names in list of networks

[Tormod Volden]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0~svn3202-1
Severity: important


This can be a problem with the card driver (prism2_usb/p80211) but the output from iwlist scan 
seems ok. The drop-down list (of nm-applet) with the available networks has just bogus names 
with many non-ascii characters (the squares with hex digits). The number of entries seems 
reasonable, but is not equal to the number I get from iwlist scan.

After I connect to my own network (which is hidden and does not appear in the list first) it 
appears in the list correctly, among the other broken ones.
