Wifi, WPA

[Mijzelf]

My wifi stick never worked for me, it didn't connect, but I found a way around (at least for WPA-PSK);

Create a file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: [Select]

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=root
network={
    ssid="YourSSID"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk=Your(hex)wpakey
}Then create a script:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -Dzydas -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.confStart this script in a terminal On my system it will exit on a signal 15 after about 20 seconds. Restart it, and after about 20 seconds you've got connection.

Yes, wpa_supplicant is great and highly flexible. To activate the wifi without starting the wireless-manager just add

Code: [Select]

echo 1 > /proc/jz/iwifi
sleep 4 # takes a while
wifiup eth1after the wireless network associated, you may want to run dhclient eth1 to get an ip.
(For the waiting for association before starting dhclient part I currently use sleep, but I'd rather replace it with some grep/awk magic)
