problem in copying wpa_supplicant.conf information from /boot on startup

[Scott Daniels]

When creating a network interface by creating a wpa_supplicant.conf file in the /boot volume, the enclosing quotes for the ssid are not carried over, and the wlan interface thereby fails.

In /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf:

...
network={
        ssid="Office"
        psk=b5c75967571eb215b636c3f2d2cd460320b9c731c4b32c6eebf5b6d378aoeu0a8
}

becomes in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf after startup:

...
network={
        ssid=Office
        psk=b5c75967571eb215b636c3f2d2cd460320b9c731c4b32c6eebf5b6d378aoeu0a8
}

Thus configured, the wlan0 interface fails to connect to the network. When adding the quotes around `Office` back in and rebooting, the wlan0 interface works.

Here is my OS version:
