Description

Hello fellow redmine community members. I found a php error when I change SSID to hidden. WiFi card works otherwise.

Tested this on 23.09 DEVELOPMENT builds. I'm not able to reproduce this, so either something else is needed to recreate this or it was fixed along the way.

  • Project changed from pfSense Plus to pfSense
  • Category changed from Wireless to Wireless
  • Target version set to 2.8.0
  • Affected Plus Version deleted (23.05.1)
  • Plus Target Version set to 23.09

The same could happen on CE, not just Plus. There are several places there for that and other settings nearby which could lead to PHP errors. On CE the lines in this error message are around ~1747, not ~1800. It's blindly setting a value several layers deep in a variable without checking if the components are an array first.

That whole section is a bit of a mess and could do with being updated to use safe array access get/set functions.

Hello Michael,

What are the exact reproduction steps you are taking to recreate this? I'm still unable to reproduce this issue on my test hardware.

I was able to replicate the issue on

23.09-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Thu Sep 07 06:05:43 UTC 2023
FreeBSD 14.0-ALPHA2

the changeset (1857f9fbf03ad0ea7435c87a3289c5d6da50dc54) was applied, going to test it on the latest build

Can't reproduce on the

I suppose it can be marked as resolved.
