| 6 | Kernel driver for your wireless card, e.g. ndiswrapper or ipw2100. |
| 7 | See the wpa_supplicant homepage for supported drivers. |

| 15 | 1. Create a network setup for wpa_supplicant: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | wpa_passphrase <ssid> <your_secret> >> /etc/wpa.conf |
| 18 | |
| 19 | See the sample configuration file wpa_supplicant.conf in the |
| 20 | sources for a complete description of the available options |
| 21 | for wpa_supplicant. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | 2. Change your wlan start script to use wpa_supplicant. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Following an example for the centrino ipw2100 driver, no need |
| 26 | to do anything with iwconfig: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | /sbin/modprobe ipw2100 |
| 29 | /sbin/ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx |
| 30 | /sbin/route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx |
| 31 | /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa.conf |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Note: the above configuration makes use of the generic wext |
| 34 | wpa_supplicant driver (Linux wireless extensions), |
| 35 | which is the preferred nowadays. Use this driver for |
| 36 | ndiswrapper as well. |
