My system is NetBSD-1.5.2. I have Compaq Wavelan card. I am trying to
automatic the encryption setup when the system is reboot. My encrypted
passphase is `'thisisfine'. This is what I do in the /etc/ifconfig.wi0 file

!/sbin/wiconfig wi0 -k "\`\'thisisfine\'" -v1 -T1 -e1

this does not work. Error messages saying bad value.

However it works. If I do it in sh like this:

sh# key="\`\'thisisfine\'"
sh# wiconfig wi0 -k $key -v1 -T1 -e1

Eventually, I tried this and it works:

sh# wiconfig wi0 -k "\\`'thisisfine'" -v1 -T1 -e1

Can anyone enlighten me on this?
