** Summary changed:

- [intrepid] alpha 5 - WPA & WPA2 Personal won't authenticate
+ [intrepid] alpha 6 - WPA & WPA2 Personal won't authenticate short passwords

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: network-manager
  
  I enter my WPA password (13-char alphanumeric) when prompted. Network
  Manager tries to connect but fails to authenticate and re-prompts me for
- my password. However, it prefills the password box with 64-character
- password which is incorrect and I'm not sure where it got it from.
+ my password. However, it prefills the password box with a seemingly
+ random 64-character password which is incorrect and I'm not sure where
+ it got it from (the first time after installation, it just presented an
+ empty text box but subsequent times it presents this unknown password).
  
- I can connect using a free FON access point because no authentication is
- required to connect to the access point.
+ I can connect to a different, WPA-authenticated access point that uses a
+ 64-character password.
+ 
+ Is it validating the password entered and concluding that the
+ 13-character password isn't valid? The 13-character password is valid
+ (albeit less secure) and used to work on Hardy.
  
  I'm on a Samsung Q35 laptop.
