My /etc/conf.d/wireless mac_essid_000C76AC2138="dennis" key_dennis="s:'my wacky1 key'" preferred_aps=( "dennis" ) blacklist_aps=( "Belkin54g" ) My setup is an access point that doesn't broadcast its essid. When I /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start with the above config, I get: # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart *snip* * Scanning for access points * Found "<hidden>" at 00:0C:76:AC:21:38 (managed, encrypted) * mapping to "dennis" iwconfig: unknown command "wacky1" * eth1 does not support setting keys * or the parameter "mac_key_dennis" or "key_dennis" is incorrect * Couldn't associate with any access points on eth1 I tried a number of variations for key_dennis=, including: key_dennis="s:'my wacky1 key'" key_dennis="s:'my wacky1 key' enc open" key_dennis="s:my wacky1 key" key_dennis="s:'my\ wacky1\ key'" key_dennis="s:my\ wacky1\ key" If I echo ${key} in /lib/rcscripts/net/iwconfig.sh is outputs: s:'my wacky1 key' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create key_essid that contains spaces 2. start wireless interface init script 3. Actual Results: # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart * Caching service dependencies ...
