Description michael@smith-li.com 2008-10-29 02:52:33 UTC

I used to have 'blackwell-g' as my home network ssid: Here is my old /etc/conf.d/net:

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
preferred_aps_eth0=( "blackwell-g" )
iwpriv_blackwell-g=( "set_alg 3" )
# syntax error near unexpected token `s:xxxxx enc open" )'
key_blackwell-g=( "s:xxxxx enc open" ) 

When I reconfigured my wireless network with the SSID 'blackwellg', and used the same exact configuration with the hyphen removed, the network connected fine.

Please read the 'WIRELESS SSID IN VARIABLES' section in net.example.

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
preferred_aps_eth0=( "blackwell-g" )
iwpriv_blackwell_g=( "set_alg 3" )
key_blackwell_g=( "s:xxxxx enc open" )
