I just tried build 10924 and found that only the first word (everything up to the first space) of my SSID was being broadcast. None of my clients would automatically connect because the SSID didn't match.

It works fine in v24-sp1 (07/26/08) std - build 9994.

Is this regression? Or are spaces not allowed?

UPDATE: Putting double quotes around the SSID works with 10924. This was not needed before.

I just tested build 10948 and found that BrainSlayer's fix works perfectly.

While true that spaces in SSIDs are probably not totally safe, I had not had any problems with them before and see no reason not to continue with them.

Thanks BS!
