Strange mac address in wifi name

Hello,
In Ropieee, I have a bug with my main wifi : it displays it with a kind of mac adress concatened after the name (but it is not the access point wifi mac adress, neither the RPi wifi mac adress).
The network is called “freearago”. It is seen as “freearago” on my computer, on my phone etc.
But in Ropiee I see it as “freearago 8c:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx” (see attached picture)

When I choose this network and setup the password it doesn’t connect.
But if I choose any other network, this works well.

And off course I can connect to “freearago” from my computer or any other device… (see attached picture)

Do you know what is happening ? And how to fix it ?

Thank you for your help


This indeed looks like a bug.

Can you do a scan, and then send me feedback?

Sure, how do I do this ?

I’ve clicked on “Send Feedback” in advanced settings.
Tell me if there is anything else to do. My unique ID is : 8a190742823a0e80

I’m missing stuff…

So, please configure wifi and select the ‘freerago 8c…’ network, run configure, and after that send me feedback without rebooting.

Thanks

So I need to connect Ropieee via ethernet too ? Because as soon as I configure “freearago 8C…” I will lose network connection…

oh yeah, sorry I assumed you still had that.

But yes, if you can…

Hi @Math ,

This is a strange issue. Unfortnately the feedback does not contain enough information for me to figure out what’s going on.

If you’re up to it you could switch to the beta channel: I’ve released a beta build that provides more information for me when you send feedback. It could help me in identifiying what’s going on.

Thanks

Hi,
No problem for helping.
I have switched the update chanel to Beta. However after configure and reboot I’m still on the stable channel. Is there something else to do ?

Sit and wait. It needs to pull in the update.

Thanks for that!

I’ve found the issue, so I’m preparing another BETA update that should fix this. I’ll give you a poke when it’s available.

Regards
