Hi,

To avoid the following error message with linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3-r1, ...

# /etc/init.d/wlan stop
 * Shutting Down WLAN Devices ...
/etc/wlan/shared: line 71: [: too many arguments

..., I needed to make the following change:

--- /etc/wlan/shared~   2006-06-13 02:49:11.000000000 +0200
+++ /etc/wlan/shared    2006-06-13 03:01:16.000000000 +0200

This code is buggy any way and should be fixed upstream. Patch applied. Thanks for reporting.
