Connecting to SSIDs containing '-' or '_'

[DaCi_2122796]

I'm having trouble connecting to SSIDs that contain dashes('-') or underscores ('_'). Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone point me to what is failing?

The process I'm using is taking a SSID to connect to, initiating a scan and then taking the resulting match from the scan and calling wicide_wifi_join_specific().

Is security Open?  or ?

When you scan the SSID shows up correctly?

Using the console App I have no issues.

We always connect to SSIDs that contain a '-' character with no problem.  Usually with WPA2 security.  What error is returned by the wiced_wifi_join_specific?  Have you managed to debug the inputs to that function to make sure you are actually sending what you think you are sending as part of the join request?

Hi,

Has as this been resolved or still an issue for you?

Please re-open if this is still an issue with newest SDK.
