Public bug reported: in wireless, cannot connect when password has odd number of characters. consistent across many hot spots.
gaining access to a hot spot, here is the router setup: d-link DSL-2750U (used throughout Vientiane) WPA Mode: WPA Only WPA passphrase: oddnumberofcharacters (>=9) WPA Group Rekey Interval: 0 WPA/WAPI Encryption: TKIP+AES if the password is changed to have an even number of characters, connection works as expected I think this same bug effects Android - saw some smartphones unable to connect. Mac and PC users able to connect successfully.
