Description Michael Conrad 2007-01-02 21:54:14 UTC

I'd report this 'trivial' except that I spent a decent amount of time digging through the init script source code to find the answer to it.

In /etc/conf.d/wireless.example, there are many references to 
  essid_MACADDRESS=some_essid
and
  key_MACADDRESS="a key string"
These do not work.

I have verified that the source code (in /lib/rcscripts/net/iwconfig.sh) is looking for variables of the form
  mac_essid_MACADDRESS
and
  mac_key_MACADDRESS.

I'm guessing the example didn't get updated.
