Stored Wireless Network Passwords - myTouch 3G Slide Android Development

Does anyone know what file and what encryption (type 7 or MD5) are the wireless network passwords stored. I would like to recover this file/ or passwords before I flash the new Froyo build.
If this is straight forward I will write an App to pull this file/Passwords.
Thanks in advance,

Wrong section. In fact, this is probably the wrong forum all together... Why would you need to pull the network passwords for your own network? Just enter them again after flashing. If you don't know your network info, reset your router.

You see I have an extensive list of Wi-Fi networks that I traverse (i.e. Mother's house, GF's house, several buddies, work...) This list seems to grow the longer you run a ROM. This has always been one of the down sides to flashing frequent ROMs. In fact, I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets frustrated having to do this all the time.
WRT your comment about the placement of this post: I plain on creating my first app using Google Inventor. And this is the development section.. Seemed like the logical placement.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about, I will look to backup/ restore all Wi-Fi configuration.

Although the App Inventor seems like a simple WYSIWYG app creation tool, I think it would be perfect for something as simple as what the OP is trying to create.
I also would find this useful though as I also have a large list of access points I hate having to reprogram after every flash.

I'm with ya. I had a nice long list of APs with passwords saved and would love to be able to restore them FROYO does this automatically with its backup and restore settings. I agree this is a great idea.

Don't get me wrong... I can certainly see a use for this kind of app now that I see the reason behind it, but I consider App Inventor to be a joke.

I agree. App inventor is a great idea, but at the same time, it's a disgrace to all of the developers who have put so much time and effort into creating quality apps.
I plan on using AI myself, but it will never replace the quality apps that are on the market, and I have nothing but respect for those guys.

They're stored in "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf". They're not encrypted at all, in fact.
You do need root to read this file, though.
(wpa_supplicant is a standard Linux utility for configuring and managing wifi interfaces)
