When defining a nwid in hostname.ath0 that contains a space, an extra
space is inserted in the nwid assigned to the nic. "Toften 5" becomes
"Toften 5" .. which is not where I live. When setting the nwid manually
with ifconfig, the nwid is set correctly. Can anyone confirm this
behaviour? Full dmesg here:

I prefer the dark of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty,
when it's more bare, more hollow. http://a.mongers.org
