Betreff: [DNG] Debugging netman auto-connect.
Hi all,

Since yesterday I have been trying to understand why "char**
essid_list" is working inside getInstalledEssidList(&count,
essid_list) but failing as soon as I try to access essid_list[0]
outside the function.

Both the source and the gdb text output are attached.

Any helpful pointers are appreciated.


Edward.
