Issues creating WI-FI network

I'm trying to create a WI-FI network with the pISO connected to a wi-fi enabled raspberry but the pISO gets stuck.

I added the following configuration to the piso.config:

[wifi.ap]
ssid="echopiso"
password="******"

i can browse to the wi-fi menu and choose Activate AP but the pISO gets stuck with the "Creating network" message.

the pISO has 2 disks configured and mounted.

Thanks for the report. I have had other people describe this issue, but I have not been able to reproduce it as people (understandably) are hesitant to send me the password that is causing the issue. Is your password shorter than 8 characters? (please feel free to email me directly at 'product@piso.support' if you don't want to discuss this publicly.)

Hi, i did some testing and i can confirm that my issue is caused by the password's length: with a 6 characters password (e.g. abc1de) the pISO gets stuck while with a 8 characters password (e.g. abc1defg) wi-fi starts correctly.

Hi, i also noticed that if i turn-off the wi-fi (there's no "deactivate" wi-fi but choosing the activate wi-fi option seems to do just that) and then turn it back on again it still gets stuck con the "creating network" page.

Considering that the deactivate option is not explicitly available i don't know if i should open another issue or not.
