[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#443755: wlassistant: Fake fail when connecting

[Robert Gomulka]

Package: wlassistant
Version: 0.5.7-2
Severity: normal

Currently I use wlassistant to connect to my hotel's wireless network.
It reports fail when everything is fine.
Steps to reproduce:
1. modprobe ndiswrapper (I insert my card driver)
2. start wlassistant
3. list of detected networks appear. I select valid network and click on it
4. after a while "connection failed" message appears
5. when I wait few seconds, right arrow appears near selected network
and my connection becomes active

if I quit wlassistant right after step 4, connection does not become active
