Solved: essid with spaces 12-07-2013, 08:57 AM

hi i am trying to bypass a Mac filter on a network,
i am using this to associate with the ap.
iwconfig wlan1 essid Telecom WiFi channel 7
my problem is that when i use an essid with spaces in it console bitches about every word following the inital essid word.
eg: iwconfig: unknown command "WiFi"
i have tried adding " " to each end and it accepts but when i run iwconfig wlan1 the essid seems to have included the " " in its name.
Is this normal or do i need to do something else?
