I cannot connect to a public wifi network with a 7-character password because the Gnome network connection GUI (gnome-control-center wifi) will not enable the "Connect" button unless I enter a password that is at least 8 characters long. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute "gnome-control-center wifi" 2. Select a wifi network 3. In the "Authentication required" dialog, enter any password from 1 to 7 characters long Actual Results: The "Connect" button on the dialog is never enabled Expected Results: The "Connect" button should be enabled as soon as *any* character is typed in the password line I believe that the local system's criteria for a valid password (i.e., local PAM rules) are being enforced, even though the local system's rules have no bearing on what the external wifi connection may or may not accept.
