WPA2 and Hexadecimal keys
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but here it goes...
In Airport Admin Utility running under OSX 10.4.X, the WPA/WPA2 key could be either an 8-63 character ASCII password or a password of exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. You had to explicitly switch between ASCII (password) and Hexadecimal (passphase).
In the new Airport Utility running under Leopard, it seems like you can only enter 8-63 ASCII password. When I open my AEBS with Airport Utility, the "Wireless Password" field is empty and I can only enter in up to 63 characters. Help also says to use an 8-63 ASCII password.
What am I missing? Did they change it so you have to use a max of 63 characters?
Thanks!
