Description wd 2009-12-01 05:33:26 UTC

I try to use iwconfig to connect a wep ap named like 'abc-ed'.

I'v set in /etc/conf.d/net like this:
modules_eth1=( "iwconfig" )
key_abc-ed="123456"

When I start net.eth1, will got this error:
/etc/init.d/../conf.d/net: line 5: key_abc-ed=123456: command not found

It seemes like a bash script varible name limit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rename wifi essid to a name not contain '-' and other char that bash varible not permit.
2.
3.

That's not supposed to work, you should use key_abc_ed=... (using an underscore). See the installed net.example file's section "WIRELESS SSID IN VARIABLES". If it still doesn't work with that change, please re-open this bug.

Oh, yes, it's worked. Thks.
