   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Oneiric)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

  ESSIDs of the network interface are shown
  
  they are furthermore submitted without showing the user what is being
  submitted, even if you click on "details"
  
  furthermore, logs including paths such as /home or running processes or
  other sensitive information should be grepped for such text and removed
+ 
+ SRU TEST CASE: Run "apport-bug network-manager", and in the details
+ expander, open the "IwConfig" field. It shows the "ESSID" in the final
+ oneiric version, with the update you should see "ESSID: <hidden>".
