What happens if SSID is longer than 32 characters? #6

It looks like you may run into issues where SSIDs longer than 32 characters will run into the password EEPROM address space.

Thank you so much for this repo!!

According to the documentation of the standard, the length of an SSID should be a maximum of 32 characters (32 octets, normally ASCII letters and digits, though the standard itself doesn't exclude values).

Some access point/router firmware versions use null-terminated strings and accept only 31 characters.

So it's not an issue.
