 My accesspoint is configured in wpa_supplicant, but the gui keeps asking

 for the key. Should I just not fill it in then?

dunno. never used any gui for wlan on the fr.
but i'd expect any gui to checl with wpa_supplicant.conf first -- what  
your gui obviously not does.
maybe grepping either in your home directory or in /etc (since 2008.9  
probably lets run you the fr as root) for the name of your ap might reveal  
a file which you could monitor?
but soem of these password helpers use to store passwords after successful  
login only, so you're probaly forced to type the correct phrase.
you could, though, put the phrase in a file, scp it to the fra nd try if  
cp will work.

last idea: bug the developers of the gui.

wifi using GUI in 2008.9

2008-12-07 Thread Peter Nijs
Hi,

The wiki says that I can use the gui in the settings-application to even 
connect to a wpa2 protected network. Now I tried that with an open network 
and it works. (except for rerouting, which I still have to do using terminal. 
It also thinks it failed even when it succeeded.) But I was never able to 
connect to my protected network, probably because I type in the PSK wrong. 
Isn't there a way to preload the neo with the key via ssh in a config file? 
Because having to type it is really a pain in the rear. Also I have noticed 
the gui doesn't store the password, but maybe it's because it thinks the 
connection failed.

I want to use the gui because it otherwise seems to interfere with mofi or 
lint (or the ifup, wpa_supplicant). It is also the nearest to usable tool to 
connect to a network. The only things I would like to see improved are:
-a config, or config files for each AP
-reroute through eth0
-know when it is connected and don't say it failed when it succeeded.

In a further stadium 802.1x would be nice.

greetings,
depeje
