If you think it's not, please, tell me) I'm trying to configure my wifi SSID within /etc/rc.conf in FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 , but I've found that I'm unable to get it working at boot time (although I can do it after boot in cmd line). My SSID has an space character and I don't know how to deal with it. So my question is easy, how do I add an space in the SSID? I've tried wrapping the SSID using \" , \' also adding \(space), changing " for ' and others without success. As an example my rc.conf entry looks like ifconfig_wlan0="ssid SSID WITH SPACE dhcp" and after booting I see that ifconfig tried to connect to SSID instead to "SSID WITH SPACE". As I said, if I run ifconfig wlan0 ssid "SSID WITH SPACE" from the command line, works fine. Any clues on how to solve this in rc.conf? Thank you very much!! -- _________________________________________________________________ Fry: You can see how I lived before I met you. Bender: You lived before you met me?!
