Package: wpasupplicant Version: 2.10 Dear Maintainer, wpa_supplicant has
problems loading a configs that contains a network with an SSID/PSK that
contains double quotes followed by hash. steps to reproduce: 1a. create the
config: ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="my"#SSID"
psk="securePsk" } 1b. start wpa_supplicant and do "wpa_cli list_networks":
> ~/wpa_supplicant-2.10/wpa_supplicant# wpa_cli list_networks
Selected interface 'wlan0'
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
0 my any <------- wrong SSID
2a. create the config: ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant network={
ssid="my"awsome#SSID" psk="securePsk" } 2b. start wpa_supplicant gives the
following errors in log: 1692607987.076948: Successfully initialized
wpa_supplicant 1692607987.077262: Line 3: failed to parse ssid '"my"awsome'.

'"my"awsome'. 1692607987.109757: Line 5: failed to parse network block.
1692607987.109836: Failed to read or parse configuration

ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="mySSID"
psk="secure"awsome#Psk" } 3b. start wpa_supplicant gives the following errors
in log: 1692608589.796979: Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
1692608589.797357: Line 4: Invalid passphrase length 6 (expected: 8..63)

The problem did not occure with wpa_supplicant v2.8-devel.
The problem does not occure if the hash sign is followed by double quotes.
