Hi Guys,

I have a problem with the my WiFi network.

My network is protects with password that includes special characters like &%$.

If I changed the settings per SSH and after restart the service I get following msg:

Code:
ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Function not implemented.
wpa_supplicant: WARNING: plaintext or ascii WPA key has 3 characters,
wpa_supplicant: it must have between 8 and 63 to be valid.
wpa_supplicant: If the WPA key is a 256-bit hexadecimal key, it must have
wpa_supplicant: exactly 64 characters.

DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7

I think, I must escaped the special characters. On other systems like Raspbmc or raspbian it is work.

Can anybody help me?

ah sry my english is not the best Big Grin
What version? Also did you use xbian-config? Did you try unplugging the wlan adapter and plugging it back in again?
Version: Alpha: XBian 1.0 Alpha 3
Yes I used xbian-config.

I rebooted, I unplugged and plugged back, nothing works :/
Can you post the content of "/etc/network/interfaces"
Code:
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-ssid "Luft"
wpa-psk "XXX"
wireless-power off

XXX is only a short part of my password i think this is the problem

//edit: I tryed to change but:

Code:
Permission denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
Request code: 3
What did you change? And what command gives the permission denied error?
So at First I changed with winscp so I had this error.

Second I changed with sudo nano and now it works.

wpa-psk "XXX" <--i changed this to my network password reboot and now my wifi workeds Big Grin
