Comment (by Dilbert2):

 Interesting. Yesterday, when I wrote the bug report, I used hrev45205.
 Today, when I was going to answer your questions, I accidentally used an
 older disc. This is R1/alpha4 hrevr1 alpha4-44702.

 So, I booted Haiku.
 Then I turned on my phone hotspot after Haiku was finished booting.
 The deskbar immediately listed "Galaxy" (my phone) as available, and
 automatically connected to it.
 It worked.

 So, I deactivated wifi hotspot on my phone, and changed the network name
 from "Galaxy" to "Galaxyggg".
 Haiku did not notice that "Galaxy" was gone, and that "Galaxyggg" is
 available.

 If I run:
 {{{ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 scan}}}
 Then I get outdated information. It does not do a new scan. It lists
 "Galaxy", not "Galaxyggg".

 Suddenly, several minutes later, the deskbar and the "scan" command will
 list "Galaxyggg", instead of the non-existing "Galaxy". Finally, it has
 updated the network list.

 Just one problem:
 I now seem to be connected to "Galaxyggg", but I am not online.
 Ping works:

 But the browser fails to open any websites. How can this be?
 I know that "Galaxyggg" works, because my other laptop is currently
 connected to it, and it can surf the web.


 Anyway, All this was with an older disc of Haiku.
 It has the same error message with wpa2-encrypted networks, where it says
 "Application could not be found".


 I had to stick a ethernet cable into the laptop to post this.
 But the Ethernet cable also failed to work. Haiku would not get online at
 all!

 So I had to use a memory stick to transfer this text that I was writing in
 Haiku, to another laptop.
