>Description:
The way the /etc/rc.d/network script reads in the ifconfig.intn files makes 
it impossible to quote an argument that has spaces in it, like an 802.11 
nwid.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to use this ifconfig.wi0:
!wiconfig $int -s `hostname`
chan 5 nwid Ivy\ Ministries mediaopt hostap up
inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00
