If you look at the wpi(8) manpage, you will see that the expected command-line arguments will take the form:
Code:
# ifconfig wpi0 nwid my_net wpakey passphrase
In other words, the third command-line parameter denotes the network identifier. The embedded spaces & the parenthesis in:
Quote:
NetFasteR IAD (PSTN)
...are thus reeking havoc.

You can try encapsulating this string in single quotes, & if this still doesn't work, try adding a backslash before the opening & closing parenthesis.

Untested.
