Yes, I can connect manually, but I'm not connecting to the nameless Wifi anyways. To clarify, the installer fails to _list_ the wifi networks. So if one network happens to not disclose the SSID (which is rather common), I suspect that the installer will always fail. > I think there are some "security" settings on Wifi routers that allow > you to hide the SSID or something, so I guess that's how this problem > sprung up.
