Hi List
A Gentoo user has quested this block being added to the example file
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144339)
network={
ssid=
key_mgmt=NONE
}
Note, you don't actually need to have the ssid= line, key_mgmt=NONE is
sufficient.
This enables wpa_supplicant to connect to any unencrypted access point. A good
thing to add as I myself didn't know that wpa_supplicant could do this.
This has also highlighted a bug. When this block is used, wpa_cli status does
not report an ssid - just can empty string. Would be nice if it filled in the
ssid of the AP.
Thanks
