[Bug 1442380] Re: No connection to WPA-Wifi with 64 char ascii password

 

** Description changed:

  It's not possible to connect to a WPA2-PSK WiFi using a 64 character
  long Password. Neither in the network-managment nor in the Prompt (the
  save/connect button is greyed out). The 802.11i reson which is always
  quoted doesn't seem legit to me, since the exact same setup (& PW)
  worked with mint15 & 17.1 (on the same laptop), Android devices and
  Windows.
+ 
+ Important INFORMATION: The WiFi I'm connected in the Bug Report (and
+ obviously on the Screenshot) is not the one with the 64 char password.
+ It's my mobile-phone-hotspot.
  
  Thanks for your effort and best regards
  Brodrian
