WPA2 Passphrases with Spaces #165

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I just started using xPUD. Naturally, I had been using a WPA2 passphrase with 
spaces, and xPUD's wireless manager didn't like that. I had a hard time setting 
it from the command-line, also, but I was able to get it to work with other 
Linux distros (Arch) and Windows.

To reproduce the problem:
1. Edit your WPA2 passphrase to include spaces.
2. Attempt to set the new wifi password.

I had expected the system to connect, even for a passphrase with spaces. It 
only works if I replace the spaces with underscores.

As far as I can tell, I am using the latest xPUD, v0.9.2. I downloaded it this 
evening.

My best guess is that there is some shell script somewhere that's not quoting 
its arguments, so spaces split a single argument into multiple arguments. But 
I'm not positive.
