When I try to set the essid while the card is up nothing happens. No
error. Simply the essid is not set, according to iwconfig.
After a few weeks using the laptop with feisty, I also noticed that
sometimes the essid cannot be set even if the card is down. As I
usually notice that only when I "up" the card after setting essid, I
don't know what iwconfig would report between the moment I try to set
essid and the moment I "up" the card. Anyway, when that happens I just
repeat the down/set essid/up process and it works.
