src/etc/rc.d/network revision 1.44
>Description:
/etc/rc.d/network reads ifconfig.xx0 files with the shell 'read' builtin, 
which parses a bunch of escape characters and makes quoted parameters in 
the ifconfig.xx0 files not work.  changing to 'read -r' instead of 'read' 
makes it act fairly normal.
>How-To-Repeat:
put something like this in ifconfig.wi0
