Yes, but consider this
iwpriv_ESSID="
set AuthMode=WPAPSK;
set EncrypType=TKIP;
set WPAPSK=yourpasskey
"
One issue is that any valid character is allowed in WPAPSK, including ;
$ foo="'one '\'' two' \
'three ; four' \
'five \ six' \
"
$ eval set -- "${foo}" ; for x in "$@" ; do echo $x; done
one ' two
three ; four
five \ six
$
Demonstrates that we can achieve multi-line arrays like so, without the
need to set shell opts or alter IFS
