I'm sorry if this is posted everywhere, but I couldn't find it with some searches.

I'm currently using a Waldorf Live Install and I cannot connect to my network.
It can find my network just fine, but I cannot enter the password.  The problem is my wireless password is 7 characters and #! won't enable the 'connect' button until 8 characters are entered.

Is there a way around this?  or do I really need to change my network password and all other connected devices to at least 8 characters to get this to work?

if you need the other ones ( dmesg|grep -Ei 'wlan|firmw|dhc' / sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep -Ei 'net|wpa|dhc' ) i'll post that after
