[Touch-packages] [Bug 1406031] Re: Cannot connect to wifi having short password
Someone reported using nmcli to workaround this, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/377687/how-do-i-connect-to-a-wifi- network-using-nmcli. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1406031 Title: Cannot connect to wifi having short password Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I can't connect to a wifi network with security "WPA & WPA2 Personal" and a password of 7 ASCII characters. Of course this password is invalid, but I can't change that, and I should be able to connect anyway. Actually I could connect the first time, and after that it wouldn't enable the "connect" button anymore. I hope we're not in the business of policing other people's wifi... I really can't configure their system, but if you relax the constraints on your side, then I can have wifi access and work on my PhD project. Thanks for considering the net value of policing other people.

(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.
