Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
I switch my wireless interface from roaming mode (where it works) to a static configuration. When I enter my WPA-PSK passphrase and click Ok, it just fails without any warning. Checking the /etc/network/
If I enter the passphrase again with quotes around it, it correctly generates the hex key and puts it into the interfaces file.
To me this suggests that network-admin can't support spaces in the wpa-psk.
