please help me understand wpa settings
I'm trying to set up wpa wireless, but I guess I'm missing some basics.
In Wisdows Vista, I simply pasted the 63 ascii char password into the wireless setting windows, and it works. I know, unix is different. Now, if I paste the password into hostname.if it does not work, if I try to convert it to hexadecimal with wpa-psk it does not do it, I guess because there are all sorts of characters in the password (but then, why are punctuation marks not allowed?). If I try to use a password with only letters it gives me the hexadecimal, but then it does not work either (of course I've put the new password into my router. What am I doing wrong? My actual hostname.iwn0 looks like this (this time with the password converted to hex: Code:
inet 192.168.1.XXX nwid my-ssid wpa wpapsk my-ssid 0xalotofnumbers |

never mind, I've managed to make it work with the help of this discussion: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthre...tname+wireless I did not know you have to tell the script to bring up the network card, because you don't need that with ehternet. And you need to put double quotes around the passphrase if you have extra characters it is not specified in the manpages I guess because this should be some very basic unix knowledge... stupid me |
