Comment(by midiwall):

 Hey ya';

 The only configuration I did was to use the wpa shell script to create the
 networks.cfg file. I didn't work at all within the UI. I'm not a big UI
 guy, I fired up the OLPC and headed for a command line. :) The script that
 I used for configuration is the simple one mentioned here:

 fwiw, I suspect the issue is in the network driver, not in the config. The
 key that the script placed into networks.cfg was always correct, as
 mbletsas mentions above, wsa_passphrase doesn't have a problem generating
 the key.

 Oh, I see where the confusion is.. Since the hash is always 64 characters
 long, and the key is correct as it sits in the networks.cfg file, then how
 could it possibly matter what the length of the ASCII key was.

 Good point. It can't be a length issue, something else is up. Very weird.


 I'll reconfirm my results with the test network today, and see how our
 live network is doing as well.

 hmmm....
