Wireless Network SSID Not Found because of naming convention.[Solved]

I posted this issue here and resolved it with the help of Seth.

This is what I did:

removed the package netctl

used Network Manager CLI

nmcli device wifi list

Saw my wireless than did the following:

nmcli device wifi connect MySSID connect password MyPassword 

and it worked. Thank you Seth.

I just have one question. I had to change my SSDI from Area 51 to just mp, because it couldn't find my network based on the space. Is there a way to make Area 51 compatible with the command? I tried "Area\ 51", Area\ 51 but network was not found.

Thank you,
Matt

Fix your title: it has nothing to do with your question: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ow_to_post

"add" the [Solved] and this board has no credit system - we do this for the only reason that matters: because we can.
