Description:

As in summary: profile names are not quoted correctly, so netcfg does not respect profiles with space in it. I'm reporting this, because I'm working on wifi-select tool, which automatically generates profiles, based on their ESSID names and sometimes ESSIDs contain spaces.

Possible fix: quote all occurences of $1 in validate_profile() function in src/network file:
http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=netcfg.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/network;hb=9f8ec61efe91504d6cad6c4b99a748ce316187f6

Additional info:
* package version(s)
2.1.2-1 and current git version as well.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create correct profile with name "test profile" in /etc/network.d
2. run "netcfg 'test profile'"
3. see a message "Profile 'test' does not exist". Expected behaviour: netcfg should connect using 'test profile' profile.

This task depends upon
