802.11 wpa-pwd decryption not working 1.8.2

0

I have been searching around for someone else who has had the same issue for a little while and have given up. I was attempting to decrypt the traffic on my network which is using WPA (Personal) with Wireshark's built-in decryption key's tool and have been unsuccessful so far.

I then tried decrypting the wpa-Induction.pcap (http://wiki.wireshark.org/HowToDecrypt802.11) capture file and had no luck. Before I revert to a previous version of Wireshark where decryption was working (according to other posts here), does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this issue?

Thanks

While the current maintenance release of stable branch would be sufficient, as this was fixed in 1.8.4 through r45696.

Thanks Jaap. I figured it was a minor bug in the handling of the key, but a cursory search of bugzilla didn’t show much.

I've resolved my issue by moving to the bleeding edge -- Version 1.9.0 (SVN Rev 47530 from /trunk)
