Hi Renato,
I touched the code that lets you select the wireless interface in the
first place, but not the script that then gets called to set it up and
is responsible for the dialogs you see. Given the behaviour, I wonder
if this is what today’s import of bsddialog[1] fixes? From reading the
script the next dialog uses --mixedform, and restarts the script on
error, which it looks like is what you observe.
