Comment:

 the s:<ascii> string directly to NM? Sep 21 23:00:59 <dcbw> tomeu: no Sep
 21 23:01:04 <dcbw> tomeu: hashing is done client-side, not NM side Sep 21
 23:01:09 <dcbw> tomeu: I have no idea what bert's talking about Sep 21
 23:01:34 <dcbw> tomeu: I tihnk he's talking about ASCII passphrases which
 nobody actually uses anymore Sep 21 23:01:36 <tomeu> dcbw:
 [http://www.tagnice.com  nike air yeezy shoes]gnome's nm applet allows
 entering an ascii passphrase Sep 21 23:01:41 <tomeu> dcbw: well... Sep 21
 23:01:46 <tomeu> dcbw: I use... Sep 21 23:01:48 <dcbw> tomeu: yes, and
 converts it internally to a hex key, which gets sent to NM Sep 21 23:01:55
 <tomeu> that's why I want to do it Sep 21 23:02:04 <dcbw> tomeu: NM does
 not do passphrase hashing, the client (in this case sugar) does the
 hashing Sep 21 23:03:55 <tomeu> dcbw: ok, will look at it Sep 21 23:08:18
 <dcbw> tomeu: it's not horrible for WEP at least:
