Wireless network with an ESSID with non-alphanumerics

[prlewis]

Hi,

I have my wireless networking all set up okay - it works at home.

I have just tried to connect to the work network.

To /etc/conf.d/wireless I added the line:

[defenderBG]

Apperantly the escape characters are in C style! And the - (mius) is a - in C. I assume u did a mistake in your config.

and a link to the C escape chars:

Change all non alpha numerics in variable names to _
Values can hold any character.
