Title:
  Short wireless passwords impossible to enter

Status in wireless-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1)
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
  Release:	12.04
  2)

  
  network-manager-gnome:
    Installed: 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3

  I expect the network-manager to accept wireless passwords of any length.  (Perhaps with a warning for short ones.)

  4)
  Wireless passwords that are too short are impossbile to enter using nm-connection-editor until they reach a minimum length.  In this case a coffee shop with the wireless password framed on the wall for all to see.
