If possible you should create a new network on your router where the password is without the problematic characters. Then you go into pCP and setup the new wifi with this password. Then when Greg has fixed our wifi, you can delete the new wifi net and use your old "forbidden" password.

what board are you trying to use i2c on. I think you have too many modules loaded. I don't think you need all of those overlays loaded. i2c_arm is already turned on by default in pCP. I would just include your i2c_rtc overlay, and then modprobe i2c_dev in your startup script.
