Description Łukasz Siudut 2009-06-18 19:06:46 UTC 
Networkmanager may not accept passphrase longer than 62. It is because 09_all_handle_WEP_and_WPA_passphrases.patch patch, which contains passphrase length check: "psk_len < 63", while it should be for example "psk_len <= 64".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile networkmanager
2. Run any networkmanager client
3. Try to connect to wpa-psk network with 63 letters length password 

Actual Results:  
Error message, that connection is impossible.

Expected Results:  
Connect to network.

Thank you for reporting.

actually it should be psk_len <= 63 and not psk_len < 63

I will fix it later today.

networkmanager-0.7.1-r6 fixes the problem.
