Actually when you mention it now ... there is this wpa_supplicant which does the WPA configuration. I did this many years ago when I ran Gentoo, long before NetworkManager came along. IIRC, NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant under the hood even nowadays. This might provide some better clues on the wpa_supplicant config files: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WpaSupplicant http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wpa_supplicant#WPA2_with_wpa_supplicant -- kind regards, David Sommerseth
