I'd like to use a long WPA2 key. The GUI allows 20 characters.
It seems WPA2 can actually use a 256bit key.
How do the 20 characters you can input map into the 256 bits for a WPA2 key? What character set can be used?
Edited: it appears that WPA keys are generated from 8 to 63 characters from the "ASCII printable characters":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCI ... characters
Is there any way this field in the GUI could be expanded beyond a length of 20?
Edited 2: Wow, I misread the HTML. There is no limit of 20. I tried setting a 63 character WPA2 PSK using all sorts of ASCII characters, and it worked (at least, made it through to /etc/config/wireless). I still need to test if the key is actually being set right, but it made it through Gargoyle and on to uci.
Sorry about the noise.
Thanks,
Kevin
