Wireless Key Generator

Am I missing something, or is that key generator (wlan_strong_key_generator/generator.php) an easter egg? :) I don't see a link to navigate to that webpage from anywhere, yet it's there.

Yep, it's a easter egg I suspect.

It once was linked as popup at the wireless settings screen but we removed it for some reason that I don't recall now.

I think we removed it because it was b0rked, i't didn't create correct key lenghts on some bitsizes iirc.

Ah yes, it's not creating the correct sizes for any of the lengths. Oh well, I prefer this anyway :).

this one is javascript so it is generated by your machine…not theirs.

The code behind the javascript is basically the same as the hidden page on pfsense, and freely distributed. Perhaps we should include this correct code on the Wireless page to help users generate secure keys.

Feel free to add this if it's bsd licensed. the popup code is still existent i think. Just eneble it again and add the new keygen code if you like.
