I hope that recent changes in debians 0.5.5-2 wpasupplicant version address this issue.
In that version the 'wpa-psk' value is evaluated as follows: It is considered to be 256-bit hex key when containing exactly 64 hexadecimal only characters, otherwise it is considered as a passphrase. There is no need for quoted passphrases or 'wpa-passphrase' in this case (but remains compat. with those mentioned cases). This makes the documentation much more simple, and less obsfucated for the end user. What do others think about patching interfaces(5) manpage to add reference to wpasupplicant stuff? -- Unclear/misleading documentation for /etc/network/interfaces extensions https://launchpad.net/bugs/44315 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
