Bug 281071

Description of problem:

If NetworkManager encounters an SSID that is in the form of a URL, like
"http://example.org/" or "http://mattdm.org/", nm-applet crashes immediately.
(Just being exposed to it "in the air" is enough.)

In older versions, the main NetworkManager process also died, but recently it
seems to keep running. However, I'm not sure it's not corrupted -- in order to
restart nm-applet, I must first restart NetworkManagerDispatcher.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  NetworkManager 0.6.5-9.fc8
  kernel 2.6.23-0.164.rc5.fc8,
  wpa_supplicant 0.5.7-7 (relevant? network is unencrypted.)


How reproducible:

  100% Every Time, Guaranteed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Come to my house.
2. Turn on your laptop with wireless antenna off.
3. Look, there's the applet happily running but seeing no networks.
4. Move to a part of the house where you can only see the neighbor's net.
5. Turn on the antenna.
6. There's the neighbor's SSID. And maybe another neighbor too.
7. Move back into range of my access point.
  
Actual results:

  Blam.

Expected results:

  My SSID shows up in the little drop-down list; everything works.

Additional info:

  Using orinoco_pci, if that matters.
