[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#386090: wpasupplicant: no association to unencrypted network

[Marc Haber]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.4-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

with the following wpa_supplicant.conf.local, wpasupplicant does not
associate to unencrypted networks, such as public Hot-Spots:

network={
        id_str="wlan-open"
        ssid=""
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={
        id_str="wlan-l21"
        ssid="my-home-network"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk=<snip>
}

network={
        id_str="wlan-sandra"
        ssid="girlfriends-home-network"
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0=<snip>
        scan_ssid=1
}

Looks like the supplicant does not properly handle the empty ssid
string as "ANY".

Greetings
Marc
