    Talking Big thanks for this tutorial!

    I have an ancient(!) laptop that is running Ubuntu Desktop. However, I mainly (99.5%) use it as a server with console connections. Truth is, neither GNOME nor KDE runs very smoothly on P3/1.2GHz with 512MiB of SDRAM. In fact, the only reason I got the 'gdm' running at all is because I've never had time to learn the routines for "manually" connecting to a router with WPA2 security (after all, the 'nm-applet' is really smooth). But today I just had it. Lately, X has been eating up my RAM (and swap), and it's just not efficient. I looked in /etc/ but I had no 'wpa_supplicant.conf' file there, but(!) a directory called 'wpa_supplicant/' that contained three files (action_wpa.sh, functions.sh, ifupdown.sh). I looked at those but they were very confusing and I really don't seem needy to care for those.

    As it turned out, the only thing I needed to do to successfully connect was the following:

    Code:
    sudo -i
    wpa_passphrase NAMEOFMYSSID myactualwpapassphrase > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    wpa_supplicant -B -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    dhclient eth1
    Done!

    I am now online with my machine. Of course, I will probably get issues when I eventually decide to reboot it. Oh, wait. In fact, as I'm running Ubuntu Desktop it will launch GDM and automatically connect with the nm-applet then anyways, so it's cool. However...
    gewone@LOSANGELES:~$ uptime
    22:47:53 up 163 days, 14:17, 6 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.03
    As you may realize, I have no plans on rebooting my laptop anytime soon. But when I do, I guess those few lines in '/etc/network/interfaces' will do the trick; sort of like an 'AUTOEXEC.BAT' executing (more or less) the commands I ran just now. Awesome.

    Again, big thanks for this thread!

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Hi. I'm new with these stuff so I hope I'm not being very stupid here. My problem is that in step 6, where you have to add the two lines, my
    "sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" doesn't look like the example "iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.15
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    wireless-essid my_essid
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant"

    but it looks like this:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    # The primary network interface
    #NetworkManager#auto eth0
    #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp


    Does anybody know what am I to do? Also, when my laptop starts I get this message "the disk drive for /dev/mapper/crypyswap1 is not ready yet or not present.
    Any help is very appreciated. Thank you

    Re: HowTo: WPA with wpa_supplicant

    Can't connect to my wireless network

    I followed these tutorials
    Configure the rtl8190 with ndiswrapper:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1433401
    Configure wpa_supplicant:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136



    Here is my /etc/network/interfaces file:

    Code:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet dhcp (I changed this value from loopback to dhcp)
    pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
    And here's my wpa_supplicant.conf file:
    Code:
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    #ap_scan=2
     
    network={
            ssid="2WIRE201"
            scan_ssid=1
            proto=WPA RSN
            key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
            pairwise=CCMP TKIP
            group=CCMP TKIP
            psk=2efdade6c94ad65fda3e453879cf0a81a8cd09ec3fe1886154c0ba0c35478d13
    }
    My router is configured to accept wpa-tkip and wpa2-aes so why am I getting this message when I type this:

    Code:
    sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
