Unable to configure maximum-length WPA/WPA2 passphrase #49

Reported in http://openelec.tv/forum/88-wlan/72207-wlan-advanced-configuration#113836 but I have seen similar reports in the past. The settings app GUI prevents you from entering a passphrase longer than 55-ish characters but the maximum permissible length of WPA or WPA2 keys is 63 ascii characters or 64 hex characters (and a minimum of 8 characters). If you create the connman service profile manually the connection works so this is definitely a settings-app issue.

I'm closing this as although it is not fixed, we've had maybe ~3 reports of it as a problem in 4 years. We can live with annoying that many users :)
