Setting preferred_aps_eth1=( "ESSID with spaces" ) causes the call to iwconfig "${iface}" essid "${ESSID}" to fail because there isn't sufficient quoting Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install wireless-tools. 2. In /etc/conf.d/net, set preferred_aps_eth1=( "Some ESSID with spaces" ) 3. eselect rc restart net.eth1 (Replace eth1 with wireless interface as appropriate) Actual Results: (with preferred_aps_eth1=( "University of Leeds Wireless" ) ) * Starting eth1 * Configuring wireless network for eth1 eth1 no wireless extensions. iwconfig: unknown command "of" * eth1 does not support setting ESSID to "University of Leeds Wireless" Expected Results: * Starting eth1 * Configuring wireless network for eth1 * eth1 connected to ESSID "University of Leeds Wireless" at 00:11:92:AD:8B:B1 * in managed mode on channel 3 (WEP disabled) * Bringing up eth1 * dhcp * Running dhcpcd ... [ ok ] * eth1 received address 129.11.63.64/22
Created attachment 117838 [details, diff] Increase the quoting around the call to iwconfig I only looked in iwconfig_associate because setting the ESSID manually with essid_eth0="Some ESSID with spaces" in /etc/conf.d/net works,
Fixed in baselayout-2.0.0_alpha2
