Open question: should this be submitted to maemo bugzilla as a feature enhancement request?
Some WPA-PSK user interfaces (such as the one in Windows XP) allows the 256-bit WPA pre-shared key to be directly provided as 64 hexadecimal characters.

A wireless network with WPA-PSK encryption requires a passphrase (the pre-shared key) to be entered to get access to the network. Most wireless drivers accept the passphrase as a string of at most 63 characters, and internally convert the passphrase to a 256-bit key. However, some software also allows the key to be entered directly in the form of 64 hexadecimal digits. It is therefore occasionally useful to be able to calculate the 64-digit hexadecimal key that correspons to a given passphrase.

While WPA is supposedly not currently broken, I've read about some possible attacks against it and surely a dictionary attack would work, so the recommendation is to use a passphrase of at least 60 completely random characters.
It's not that you have to type them like a normal password, so I don't see the problem.
SOMEONE HELP!!
