Bug Description

It's not possible to connect to a WPA2-PSK WiFi using a 64 character long Password. Neither in the network-managment nor in the Prompt (the save/connect button is greyed out). The 802.11i reson which is always quoted doesn't seem legit to me, since the exact same setup (& PW) worked with mint15 & 17.1 (on the same laptop), Android devices and Windows.

Important INFORMATION: The WiFi I'm connected in the Bug Report (and obviously on the Screenshot) is not the one with the 64 char password. It's my mobile-phone-hotspot.

Thanks for your effort and best regards
Brodrian
