So actually, 63 ascii characters is not more data because after all is said and done, the phrase is reduced (via hash etc) to 256 bits. If I can enter the 256 bits directly (via 64 hex characters), what's the difference? The problem I'm having is I can't enter the 64 hex characters via the remote on Transporter, so the Transporter cannot connect to my wireless network. And yet, my SqueezeBox can... and Transporter used to... so the hardware is certainly capable of it. What's changed? SqueezeCenter version is now 7.1, running on Linux Fedora 9. When it did work, it was Fedora 8 and SC 7.0. I can't go back to SC 7.0 because it won't run on Fedora 9. -- Don Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don Russell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48397 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
