Thx for the idea, but I don't have any wildcard entry; I've checked the
conf file and also wpa_cli says:
> list_networks
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
0 santaclara any
1 tarara any [CURRENT]
2 OCLCPICAUK any
3 board_room any
4 guagua any
5 OCN-LAN any
6 ConnectionPoint any
and:
# fgrep network= /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | wc -l
7
# fgrep ssid=\" /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ssid="santaclara"
ssid="tarara"
ssid="OCLCPICAUK"
ssid="board_room"
ssid="guagua"
ssid="OCN-LAN"
ssid="ConnectionPoint"
