Description Kevin Kofler 2009-05-07 09:01:07 UTC
Version:           revision 963263 (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          g++ 4.3.2 Fedora 10 gcc-4.3.2-7
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

The WPA key input only accepts a passphrase. Trying to enter a hex key makes it fail to connect. Particularly annoying if you're trying to copy the settings from the KDE 3 knetworkmanager, which stores the keys in hex only (and throws away the original passphrase).

SVN commit 1002392 by wstephens:

Start of work to make it possible to enter hashed PSKs or passphrases
for WPA auth.  I am unable to test it because I don't have a new enough
NM installed.  If you want to test it, fix the #if in hashWpaPsk() in
networkmanager/backends/NetworkManager/settings/802-11-wireless-securitydbus.cpp
and rm CMakeCache.txt to ensure cmake knows you have NM 0.7.1 installed
- this test is insufficient since not all 0.7.1s have this feature.

SVN commit 1002623 by wstephens:

Allow WPA-PSK connections to enter PSKs as well as passphrases.

Accept secrets of between 8 and 63 printable ascii chars as passphrases
to be hashed, and send 64 hex char PSKs through as-is.

Turns out this is the Right way.
