Hello -hackers,
(although this is a network topic, I think this may be the appropiate list
to ask. 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.
The best solution would be to change the SSID to one without spaces. :)
If you can't or won't do that, one of these should work, please report
back which one does:
='ssid "ssid with space" DHCP'
='ssid \"ssid with space\" DHCP'
="ssid 'ssid with space' DHCP"
="ssid \'ssid with space\' DHCP"
hth,
Doug
