Oh, yes ... ifconfig also requires an SSID with spaces to be escaped as well. Example, assuming you still use the same hardware you mentioned in another thread:
# ifconfig ipw0 nwid 'Main Street Java' wpa wpapsk `wpa-psk 'Main Street Java' lemonade`
You and the owner both seem unsure about this particular access point's configuration. You may find this helpful:
# ifconfig ipw0 scan
