A hash is used to prevent a predictable sequence attack inot a search space bigger than afforded by say WEP; I have not looked as to the later wireless WPA / WPA2 -- as I recall there was a design flaw in WPA necessitating the '2' variant
This is, I believe, a common and reasonable approach to permit a customer to have limited config rights, and if it becomes necessary to reconfig from scratch, to push a 'restore to factory' recessed button with a paperclip, and clean up a mess
