Cannot connect to SSIDs containing "/"

Open matthazinski opened this issue 13 years ago • 1 comments

When attempting to connect to a network with a forward-slash in the SSID, it appears that special characters are not properly escaped when writing, reading, or removing $GEN_PROFILE. The netcfg file is never successfully written by wifi-select, and it is only possible to connect using a manually created netcfg file.

Relevant error messages from the console:

Generated profile: cat: /etc/network.d/NTC/Mill Mountain Hotspot: No such file or directory

Do you want to keep the generated profile ('NTC/Mill Mountain Hotspot')? [y/N] n Removing generated profile for NTC/Mill Mountain Hotspot rm: cannot remove '/etc/network.d/NTC/Mill Mountain Hotspot': No such file or directory
