Hi @caiohamamura ,

After the last commit, once I've select WiFi SSID, the password text box gets disabled and it is not possible to enter WiFi password.

I'm having the same problem. Not only that, even if I input the password before selecting the SSID and save, it fails to connect to the network

A quick workaround I found is to select the network you want to connect, let it fail the connection and then try again with the password

In the latest version <a> wraps around <div>, the {qi} and {qp} icons (signal strength and percentage) are placed inside the link. Consequently, clicking on the signal icon will trigger the c(this) function.
The Problem: The function uses l.nextElementSibling which no longer works correctly - it won't find the icon next to the link because the icon will now be inside it.
