with a long password that contains special characters, the wpa_supplicant can connect to the network if using password="mypassword" in the .config file (i.e. the actual password enclosed in quotation marks) but not if using password=ext:pwd_eduroam with the external password file containing a line pwd_eduroam=mypassword without quotation marks. I also tried and failed with quotation marks pwd_eduroam="mypassword" The external file works correctly with other networks, or simpler/shorter passwords on this network. Are there any restrictions on the characters allowed in the external file backend, compared to the regular .conf file, or am I doing something wrong, or missing some recently added patch? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
