Description Nikov Kalasch 2004-10-16 10:55:00 UTC

The error occours when wlan_scan=y is set in the wlan.conf and multible ssids are configured for the same device (e.g. SSID_wlan0="SSID1 SSID2 SSID3 ...").

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit wlan.conf
2. set wlan_scan=y (in /etc/wlan/wlan.conf)
3. set ssid_wlan0="ssid1 ssid2 ssid3"
4. /etc/init.d/wlan restart (restart the wlan device by the init script)

Actual Results:  
the init script sets the ssid to <ssid>:<bssid> so the card can't connect to the
access point

Expected Results:  
set the ssid correct

the error is caused by misusing the wlan_source_config_for_ssid function in line 47:
wlan_source_config_for_ssid "$ssid:$bssid"
should be
wlan_source_config_for_ssid "$ssid" "$bssid"

(two arguments instead of two)

Please test if this problem still exists with linux-wlan-ng-0.2.2

Awaiting feedback from reporter.
