Description Hernan Pastoriza 2008-04-19 20:05:30 UTC

On starting a wireless connection and the access point is not broadcasting its essid the documentation indicates to use:
preferred_aps="ESSID1 ESSID2"
and
associate_order="forcepreferredonly"
It used to work in baselayout1 but with the openrc version
it has 2 problems: 
1) Seems to be an error on parsing the preferred_aps variable as  it fails if two or more aps are listed.
2) The init script complains on starting interfase



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup Access Point not to announce SSID
2. set associate_order="forcepreferredonly" in /etc/conf.d/net
3. start interfase through /etc/init.d/net.iface script 

Actual Results:  
/lib/rc/net/iwconfig.sh: line 519: [: 0: unary operator expected
*   Connecting to "" in managed mode (WEP Disabled) ...                                                             [ ok ]
 *     wlan0 connected to SSID "" at xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Note the empty string in the SSID printout. 
The association to the ap is successful however if only one ap is listed in the 
preferred_aps variable

Expected Results:  
No error in the script.
echoing the right ESSID.

This bug is not fixed in the tree, so it's a bit too early to close it.
