One needs to run 'wpa_password ssid password' to generate the 32-bit password when configuring /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [please don't cross-post to multiple groups] If you put the ascii string in the wpa_supplicant.conf file then wpa_supplicant will do the work of wpa_passphrase and you don't need it. If you want wpa_passphrase for pre-caculating the PSK, then the code is in contrib/wpa_supplicant and you can build it yourself. Another person requested it be hooked to the build and it's on my TODO list but hasn't happened yet. Sam PS. If you really meant wpa_psasword then I don't know what it is; please provide a pointer.
