setting this bug to confirmed, since 2 people independently can confirm
this. This needs forwarding upstream.
** Summary changed:
- wireless WPA / WPA2 connection fails with long password
+ wpasupplicant doesn not accept '$' and '@' as valid characters in the
password.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: wpasupplicant
I tried to establish a wireless connection with my Router throug WPA/WPA2.
I had a 63-character-password. When knetworkmanager asked me for the
password, it did not accept 63 chars. So I shortened the password to 62 chars.
Since I wont use it again, I can post it:

knetworkmanager froze at 28% and asked me again for the password.
Then I changed the password to 16 characters, and knetworkmanager managed to
connect.
- Maybe it is also because of the special chars (+.§-).
+ wpasupplicant doesn not accept '$' and '@' as valid characters in the
password.
But since special chars are allowed in WPA, also this were a bug.
** Changed in: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu)
