Not long ago I've changed internet provider. Initial configurated by provider's specialists router SSID contained '-' symbol (myopname-8). /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf # allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in 'wheel' group ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel # # home network; allow all valid ciphers network={ ssid="myopname-8" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="0101010101010101010101010101010101" } # # grep -v ^# /etc/conf.d/net config_nic0="null" dhcp_nic0="release nodns nontp nonis nosendhost" wpa_supplicant_nic0="-Dwext" associate_timeout_nic0=32 config_myopname-8="dhcp" Auto-start (similiarly to restart) showes the following error: # /etc/init.d/net.nic0 restart * Caching service dependencies ... /etc/init.d/../conf.d/net: line 11: config_mgts-6=dhcp: command not found /etc/init.d/../conf.d/net: line 11: config_mgts-6=dhcp: command not found * Stopping named ...

I'm a bit confused here by what you posted -- your conf.d/net shows: config_myopname-8="dhcp" ..but the scripts are erroring out on: config_mgts-6=dhcp If this is just a different name you set in conf.d/net for testing (instead of myopname-8), please let us know, otherwise there seems to definitely be a bigger issue. As a bit of advice, though, I would recommend using '_' instead of '-' in the name of the config var; This is akin to the differences between ${IFACE} and ${IFVAR} that you can read about at the bottom of net.example

First time I've cleared private data from published configs, but missed similiar filter on output data. The correct (according to configs) is: "config_myopname-8=dhcp: command not found"

After you do this report back to the bug and let us know if the issue is fixed.

Thank you! As expected, this change fixes issue. But to my mind it's not enough clear and ideally should be documented (together with 'SSID' format description) in /usr/share/doc/openrc-0.11.8/net.example.bz2.
The format of a ssid is already documented in net.example. The following was taken from there starting at line 397. I'm not sure how we can make it more clear. ############################################################################## # WIRELESS SSID IN VARIABLES ############################################################################## # Remember to change SSID to your SSID. # Say that your SSID is My NET - the line # #key_SSID="s:passkey" # becomes # #key_My_NET="s:passkey" # Notice that the space has changed to an underscore - do the same with all # characters not in a-z A-Z (English alphabet) 0-9. This only applies to # variables and not values. # # Any SSID's in values like essid_eth0="My NET" may need to be escaped # This means placing the character \ before the character # \" need to be escaped for example # So if your SSID is # My "\ NET # it becomes # My \"\\ NET # for example # #essid_eth0="My\"\\NET" # # So using the above we can use # #dns_domain_My____NET="My\"\\NET" # which is an invalid dns domain, but shows the how to use the variable # structure #########################################################
