While SSIDs can have spaced in them as far as I understand it, but the number of devices and systems that break when you do it means that it probably isn't worth it. This doesn't mean it isn't worth fixing a bug in code that doesn't handle it of course. I still would never create such an SSID myself though. I don't like to cause problems when I don't have to. You probably have to escape the space, not the comma when entering it manually. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
