From 615a4d1e45ff7f17006b302e80773a7d351c3c78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:50:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add documentation for passphrase option. The wifi-iface actually supports an undocumented option to choose whether to treat a passphrase as a text passphrase or an encoded passphrase (like encoded by the wpa_passphrase utility). This patch documents that functionality.
