Hello,
I'm looking for the best policies / practices to start wireless networking.
Briefly I use wireless in following locations:
-home:
wpa via wpa_supplicant
-public (bars..etc..):
no wep/wpa
Both works fine. Currently I start a console logged with user root to call
ifup with related params.
Should I used root to call ifup ?
I would like to keep a manual connection as I do not want to automatically
connect.
Hereafter my partial file 'interface'
(snip)
# wireless public places
iface public inet dhcp
wireless-essid any
wireless-key off
# wireless at home using wpa
iface homewpa inet static
wpa_driver wext
wpa-conf /home/bruno/.wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf
address 192.168.1.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
(snip)
Bye,
Bruno
