What is the exact command that causes the error message? It's not a command, it obvioulsly happens while reading or "sourcing" /etc/conf.d/wireless, because this is where the key_dahlen.org ESSID is defined. So this is happening with a masked version of baselayout? This bug report is awaiting feedback from the reporter. No, baselayout is 1.11.4. I just recently discoverd this bug, when baselayout modified the /etc/conf.d/net file accompanied by /etc/conf.d/net.example . That was the reason to look at /etc/conf.d/wireless, a file which i did not use before. ESSID key and stuff was set as module option to ndiswrapper in modules.conf before (but that's ugly, the reason I want to change it). Btw: I changed my ESSID to dahlen_org, so the key is now set by key_dahlen_org which is propery sourced as variable, not as command, this brought things back to life. The current of approach of configuring things with <key>_<essid> will fail everytime there is a dot in the ESSID. Maybe an alternative is worth thinking, something like keys="<essid>:<key> [<essid>:<key> [...]]" ? sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.4 is ~ARCH masked - and not the work of the mobile herd. Adding Uberlord to CC: Actually, any characters in the ESSID that are not in A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9 ranges are changed to the _ symbol when using it in variables. This is well documented in /etc/conf.d/wireless.example So if your ESSID is dahlen.org then the line key_dahlen_org="s:foobar" works just fine You're right. My fault. Sorry for the hazzle. invalid |
