marcello_dl's Journal: Wireless setup with wpa supplicant - incomplete

I already had the setup for 802.11b with my home lan

Note this setup is quite sub-optimal as the password is saved in plaintext
The wext driver is for recent 2.6 kernels, works for my ndiswrapper

add to /etc/network/interfaces:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
                wpa-driver wext
                wpa-ssid "ZyXEL XXXYYY"
                wpa-psk [password plaintext]
# wpa-bssid 00:1a:2b:3c:4d:5e -> not necessary but likely safer
                wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
                wpa-pairwise TKIP CCMP
                wpa-group TKIP CCMP
                wpa-proto WPA RSN
