Hi there, I got a low key server who is wirelessly connected to the net using an SSID that contains a space. In rc.conf I define the ifconfig line for configuration of my wireless interface upon bootup, but the entire line reads something like ifconfig_ath0=' inet 192.168.0.1 ssid "my network" ' No matter how I tweak the quotes (single then double, other way round, with lots of \\) I never get my interface to configure properly upon bootup and I need to get to the console to fix it up. I thought I knew shell syntax but this is beyond me or manpages... What's the right way to do this? Gunther
