README for wpa_supplicant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REQUIREMENTS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kernel driver for your wireless card, e.g. ndiswrapper or ipw2100.
|
||
|
|
See the wpa_supplicant homepage for supported drivers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PRE-INSTALL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
POST-INSTALL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create a network setup for wpa_supplicant:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wpa_passphrase <ssid> <your_secret> >> /etc/wpa.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the sample configuration file wpa_supplicant.conf in the
|
||
|
|
sources for a complete description of the available options
|
||
|
|
for wpa_supplicant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Change your wlan start script to use wpa_supplicant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Following an example for the centrino ipw2100 driver, no need
|
||
|
|
to do anything with iwconfig:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/sbin/modprobe ipw2100
|
||
|
|
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx
|
||
|
|
/sbin/route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
|
||
|
|
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: the above configuration makes use of the generic wext
|
||
|
|
wpa_supplicant driver (Linux wireless extensions),
|
||
|
|
which is the preferred nowadays. Use this driver for
|
||
|
|
ndiswrapper as well.
