No space in my SSID ! As you guessed, it was just to make it easier to
read.

Just don't ! That will give almost certainly give you problems somewhere
or other.

In principle an SSID can have up to 32 arbitrary bytes. In practice,
restrict yourself to standard, displayable, ASCII characters. I don't
think the Radio will be graceful (at present) with much else, and I
don't think the Controller or Touch will ever really be. I may be wrong
on those points, but you really don't need the complication.

My problems may well have been signal strength (lack of) related. It's
been somewhat more reliable since I posted.

One problem you may encounter is that the Squeezeplay "Choose network"
UI will remove the relevant entries from the network interfaces file,
and perhaps wpa_supplicant.conf, if a connection fails.

I think that one could make a reasonably simple patch to Squeezeplay to
allow a knowledgeable user to predefine settings for an EAP-TLS AP. I'll
post further if I get something that looks viable.

I also ran across a problem with the Radio community firmware when
switching from one wireless network to another, whereby it would not
update the DHCP configuration properly, requiring a "Repair Network".
But I doubt that that will be influencing your issues. I'll be making a
proposal to @ralphy that corrects matters in due course.

SSIDs without quotes are understood to be a hexadecimal form of the SSID
(which allows for arbitrary SSIDs - see above).
SSIDs with quotes are usual for normal people. :)
