Put the following into "etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" (and below that edit "/etc/network/interfaces")and try "ifup eth0" manually: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 # home: network={ ssid="NEWKIRK" proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk=118a8aa1abfc236ebb4df06e891172ccef6c72c7db0ad5540b7f4c77858378d4 priority=50 } # Open: network={ ssid="any" key_mgmt=NONE priority=5 } And alter /etc/network/interfaces to have the following: iface eth0 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (I left my own network in there as an example of working WPA to a Netgear router - I had repeated issues with it until I used the hex key instead of text - and yes, that's actually the right key: I wouldn't refuse any Freerunner owner who wanted to leech my broadband, if they happened to be down the dead-end road to my house ;) The higher priority numbers are used first if multiples match, IE at home I can see an unsecured network from next door, but it will always connect to my AP. Elsewhere it will connect to whatever unsecure AP is reachable. (In actual practice I've got three other APs defined as well, both secure and not) j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
