That's incorrect, as we've pointed out in the bug updates. NWAM does not examine passphrases at all. The problem addressed in bug 6766937 (note missing final digit in the included link) is with spaces in the *secure object name*, not in the passphrase. For those who want the gory details: NWAM uses the secure object infrastructure provided by dladm/libdladm to store keys; each key is stored in a secure object, which is identified by a name. libdladm does not support spaces in secure object names, which is a problem for NWAM because it uses the ESSID on which the key should be used to generate the secure object name, and spaces are perfectly valid in ESSIDs.
