[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#504765: wpasupplicant: Only wpa2-psk keys of less than 64 must be quoted

[Eddy Petrișor]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.4-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

When the WPA2 PSK key is of other length than 64 characters, it needs to
be quoted, while 64 char psk-s are ok.


Please make the behaviour consistent, either by requiering 64 character
keys to be qouted, too, or by allowing the other sizes to be unquoted.


For this config I get an error:

But for this I don't:

}

Also, I don't get any error if I quote like:

}
