WiFI network configuration as a QR code

One of the nifty features of the Zebra Crossing barcode scanner on Android ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android ) is it can be used to help pair devices to a wireless network. Great if you have one of those super-long-but-hard-to-type-passwords that are near impossible to quote to visitors.

The format is pretty simple:

    WIFI:T:WPA;S:mynetwork;P:mypass;;

Thanks to +stephen coles for the idea of sticking these on the front of the wireless access point.
