Description Paolo Bonzini 2011-09-29 15:01:55 UTC 
NetworkManager only escapes space, slash and backslash.

The network init script, instead, matches ifcfg files against ifcfg-[A-Za-z0-9#\._-]\+.  This causes a lot of confusion when network files contain other characters (typically for weird wireless SSIDs).

Actually, NetworkManager will also produce files with a space, but that's arguably a bug in NM rather than in the initscripts.  Still, I'm marking the space-in-filename bug as blocking this one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
9.32
Comment 1 Paolo Bonzini 2011-09-29 15:02:47 UTC 
Should have been "NetworkManager only escapes space, slash and backslash when transforming a network name into a file for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts".
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2011-09-29 18:03:16 UTC 
What happens if you just drop that match entirely?
