Description Kevin Pearsall 2005-11-18 14:05:09 UTC

Reported by The Brave Sir Robin B.

If you're overwriting a WPA password, when you first get to the menu and hit one of the number keys, it jumps to the second position.  If you don't notice that, a bogus wpa password will be entered.

str:
- reset to factory default (or make sure a wpa password is already in there, the default is 'password' anyhow... which is a separate bug)
- setup networking -> connect to wireless -> pick a network
- select wpa personal or wpa2 personal and press right
- press a number button on the remote and note it skips to the second position without changing the first.

This no longer applies to WPA/WPA2 passwords (as they are now displayed with ***'s then the string is reset), but can be seen when entering a wirless network name. This is fixed in fw 52.

Fixed in firmware 52. This firmware is now in test.
