A small bug when using wpa passwords that may contain characters that are parsed by the shell. It is explained at:
http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2006-February/012731.html .

I have the same setup described in the above link with a network set up via windows, in which there aren't the same restrictions on characters as in *nix.  The WPA passphrase contains characters that are parsed by the shell when the wpa_passphrase command is executed in the wifi.sh script. I guess the solution is simple, but at the present time it's beyond my awk / bash scripting abilities.

Rich:
Hi andrewb
If possible, your best bet is to stick to characters that are acceptable in both environments.

In an ideal world this would be good advice, but we don't live in one!! :-)
