Comment 7 for bug 209970

1) I wasn't aware of that feature, is it new? Nonetheless, the value displayed in the dialogue box does not resemble any passphrase I would have entered -- at the very least it contains hex values for non-printable characters. Nor does it match the output from iwconfig.
2) I spent some time browsing through the NM source. I'm not familiar with it, but I think I identified a few places where some debug comments (in --no-daemon mode) would help us to understand what's going on. Hopefully I'll get chance this evening to take a look.
