I'd like to have a binary way of entering them too. Maybe just
\x53\0x53\x49\x44\x20\x57\x49\x54\x48\0x00\x49\x4e\x53\x49\x44\x45
would be OK. Of course, the ssid pref handling would still need to
be fixed.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
