Hi
r14441 [1], "hide wireless keys and wake-on-LAN password when including
network configuration in bug reports (bug #555680)".
It is unfortunately not enough to prune "wireless-key" from bugreports, as
wpasupplicant defines additional means to configure passwords for wireless
links[2], namely wpa-psk and wpa-password. Additionally I suggest to prune
commented out lines as well, as these might contain passwords or other
sensitive information and have no relevance for bugreporting.
The attached, valid, /etc/network/interfaces example illustrates the
problem with these means of configuration. The following patch applies to
sid and trunk of linux-2.6 (r14649).
