Sure, a command like: ifconfig iwm0 nwid "-... ... -.." wpakey 'max_entropy_includes_\!' Needs to be the following in /etc/hostname.iwm0 (does not match): join "-... ... -.." wpakey 'max_entropy_includes_\\!' Adding -r to read fixes this behavior. > Escaping is mentioned in the manual: It's not at all obvious when reading the man page that wireless settings need escapes (not typical on any other OS). Hence, I had to dig through code. Even more confusing is wifi that works when configured manually but fails to link after reboot. TY -MK
