[Bug 1202806] Re: [mako] Cannot connect to hidden wifi network (touch|android)

 

All right, it turns out I didn't run ubuntu-device-flash the right way
and ended up with an old image. I tested with devel-proposed, and I'd
say that it's mostly fixed.

The UI is there, and I can use it to connect to a hidden network, but I
did have a few of problems. First, when the keyboard was present on the
screen to setup up the network it resulted in the test field for
entering the passphrase getting covered by buttons, making it impossible
to select the field until I dismissed the keyboard. Second, once
connected I didn't have the little "wifi connected" icon in the top bar
that I get when connected to a non-hidden network, just a blank space
where it should have been. Finally, after I connected to the hidden
network the list of available networks showed that network twice, once
with a check mark and high signal indication and again unchecked with
the graphic showing no signal. When I tapped the network with no signal
it just disappeared.

Oh, one more thing. The hidden network always appears at the bottom of
the list of available network, regardless of relative signal strength,
and even when I'm connected to that network.

Title:
  [mako] Cannot connect to hidden wifi network (touch|android)

Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There's no UI for this right now that I can find, but if I try to
  connect to a hidden wireless network on mako by manually creating the
  wpa_supplicant.conf file and launching wpa_supplicant by hand,
  authentication with the network fails. The same operation works fine
  on maguro, so odds are this is a driver bug. The network in question
  has WPA2-PSK security.
