           Summary: ESSID field not shown for non-existing essid
           Product: prim54
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P1
         Component: Device Driver
        AssignedTo: prism54-devel at prism54.org
        ReportedBy: maxi at daemonizer.de


I think this is a bug, nevertheless not an important one.
When I set the interface to a non-existing essid with iwconfig, the essid field
disappears. When I take the interface down, it's shown again.
"engelhardt.home" is my essid here to that the driver auto connects when the
interface is brought up.
