See /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz.
After "ifup eth2", you can use
# wpa_gui -ieth2
(install package wpagui)
or
# wpa_cli list_networks
# wpa_cli select_network <
( see wpa_cli -h )

Re: command line wirelss config [was: How to speed up your Mac.]
Hi,
Sorry for not getting back early. Work is keeping things busy.. Thanks
to Bin, Jörg, and Yannick for the details. I am able to connect to the
wireless networks now :) I am providing the two files
/etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_suppliant.conf for reference and
may be someone else will find it helpful.
After booting, I do a 'ifup eth2' to get a a wireless connection. Now
how do I change the network (say from 'home' to 'neighbor')?
### /etc/network/interfaces ###
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface eth2 inet manual
wpa_driver wext
wpa_roam /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
iface work inet dhcp
iface home inet dhcp
iface neighbor inet dhcp
### /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ###
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
# EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 configuration for RADIUS servers that use the old peaplabel
network={
ssid="workwireless"
id_str="work"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="user"
password="mypassword"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=1
}
network={

}

Hi, A simpler configuration than Jörg's (if you have a simple WPA) is to put this in your /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth1 <- you may want it to auto connect iface eth1 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid your_ssid wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-psk your_wpa_psk<- or wpa-psk "your_ascii_passphrase" I don't know if there is a difference between the use of the WPA PSK (obtained with wpa_passphrase) and the use of the ASCII passphrase. Note that the name of your wireless interface may change (for instance with the new 2.6.24(-rc) b43 driver. You can have a stable interface name using the ifrename package. Note also that you won't be able to use network-manager as enabling an interface in /etc/network/interfaces disables its management by network-manager. That's why I agree with your first post, it would be good to have a console client for network-manager. ;-) Yannick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes. I use ifup eth1 and some seconds later I get the interface up.

wext is correct.

Your interfaces misses a rule for work.
This is my wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
# fast_reauth=1
### Associate with any open access point
### Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli
network={
ssid="802.1X"
id_str="fsu_dhcp" # this is passed to ifup eth1=fsu_dhcp
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TTLS
anonymous_identity="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
identity=""
password=""
ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/FSU.pem"
phase2="auth=PAP"
priority=4
}
And this is my /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet manual
wpa_roam /home/joerg/.etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_driver wext
iface fsu_dhcp inet dhcp
down env interface=eth1 /etc/udhcpc/default.deconfig
Bye, Jörg.

Re: command line wirelss config [was: How to speed up your Mac.]
ok, i need more help... has anyone successfully used ifup / ifdown /
wpa_supplicant method to access wireless network from the command
line??
my idea is to start icewm and connect to one of available networks,
without resorting to network-manager-kde...

Bin,
blame me for being thick, but i couldn't get my wireless working after
reading these help files need some more help...
i currently have the following in /etc/network/interfaces
##
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth1 eth2
iface eth1 inet dhcp
# my wirelss interface is eth2; and what is this wpa-driver???
iface eth2 inet manual
wpa-driver wext
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
iface work inet dhcp
and the following in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="workssid"
id_str="work"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="username"
password="password"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=1
}
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
}
the network details are as required by the concerned network... having
created/modified these files, i rebooted. wpa_action eth2 reload
didnot help, the log file /var/log/wpa_action.log is prctically
useless.
ifconfig and iwconfig is able to identify the interface. iwlist
scanning is showing the available networks. now what???
