SSID starting with lowercase first letter can't be connected to

I've been struggling with connecting to a wifi I occasionally want to use for a year now, debugging it from every direction to no avail.
After changing the networking hardware finally, I accepted that Jolla just won't work at this place until update X. So I tried anew after the recent update without success.
Now by coincidence, I realized that the actual reason is the SSID starting with a lowercase letter.
I have not seen such a behaviour on any UNIX system I ever set up.
Please have a look into this. Thank you.
I don't follow. Do you mean the SSID is like yYYYY or what? I have connected numerous WiFi networks with all lowercase or mixed case names and never experienced any problems with it. Even my WiFi at home is all lowercase with a number at the end.

nthn ( 2014-12-24 14:51:06 +0200 )editI can confirm that SSIDs starting with lowercase letters do work fine. My home network is all lower case and another one I'm using several times a month is all lower case, too. (If you'r 100% certain that the 1st letter being lower case is the culprit, maybe the real Problem is a mixture of lower and upper case? My examples are either all lower case or all upper case or a mixture starting with an upper case letter. I don't have a network with an ID that starts with a lower case letter and then contains an upper case one.)
