Description

I had a wifi password with some underscore characters and I can't connect to the network until I've removed the underscores from the password.

I've tried to connect with the following security settings:
o) WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES
o) WPA2 Personal AES
o) WPA Personal TKIP
o) WPA Personal AES

As soon as I removed the underscore signs from the password the boxee box connected to the network without any problem. I gues it has problems with other special characters, but I don't test it yet.

I've just find that there is a closed bug report which is kind a duplicate to this issue (BOXEE-7208).
Please reopen the old issue, or link it with this issue.
I think you should test this password issue with more characters.
