Bug Description
in wireless, cannot connect when password has odd number of characters. consistent across many hot spots.
gaining access to a hot spot, here is the router setup:
d-link DSL-2750U (used throughout Vientiane)
WPA Mode: WPA Only
WPA passphrase: oddnumberofchar
WPA Group Rekey Interval: 0
WPA/WAPI Encryption: TKIP+AES
if the password is changed to have an even number of characters, connection works as expected
I think this same bug effects Android - saw some smartphones unable to connect. Mac and PC users able to connect successfully.
