Description Jeremy Katz 2004-09-08 22:51:22 UTC
gconf keys being the literal essid leads to problems as you can have
essid's which aren't valid to use in a gconf key, eg, e^(i*pi)

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2004-10-12 11:31:41 UTC
Should be fixed in CVS already.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-10-13 01:15:37 UTC
Doesn't seem to be fixed in 0.2-4

Bad key or directory name:
"/system/networking/wireless/networks/e^(i*pi)/timestamp": `(' is an
invalid character in key/directory names
Bad key or directory name:
"/system/networking/wireless/networks/e^(i*pi)/essid": `(' is an
invalid character in key/directory names


Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-10-27 01:18:28 UTC
0.3.1-2 fixes for me.

Comment 4 Pierre Ossman 2004-12-15 00:30:55 UTC
0.3.1-3 fails here:

Bad key or directory name:
"/system/networking/wireless/networks/Lars&Mia/timestamp": `&' is an
invalid character in key/directory names
Bad key or directory name:
"/system/networking/wireless/networks/Lars&Mia/essid": `&' is an
invalid character in key/directory names


Comment 5 Dan Williams 2005-05-16 20:01:52 UTC
Newer versions should fix this, try 0.3.4 or higher available in fc3-updates.
