Bug#943797: netcfg: surprising behavior on bogus wifi password
Package: netcfg
Version: 1.160
Severity: normal
Hello,
* start d-i
* get wireless board detected
* choose an ESSID among the list proposed by netcfg
* type a password which is not the proper password
Result: netcfg prompts for a manual ESSID without even making the
prefilled value the ESSID that was chosen among the list.
This is surprising, I was about to type the password again before
realizing that it's the ESSID which is being asked.
Expected result: either (by preference order):
- netcfg should prompt for the password again (that's really what I
would have expected)
- netcfg should get back the the ESSID list (and one can choose "manual
selection" there)
- netcfg should prompt for manual ESSID, but at the very least prefill
it with what was chosen previously.
