Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.7.3-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
it would be nice to be able to let wpa-supplicant query for PSKs /
passphrases / whatever when configuring a network in interfaces(5). This
is useful, for example, on shared notebooks or similar.
The attached patch allows to specify 'wpa-ask-pass yes' or 'wpa-ask-psk
yes' in interfaces(5). The passphrase / PSK will then be read from stdin
when running 'ifup <iface>'.
The querying could also be done using zenity/kdialog/whatever -- if the
general approach is fine for you, I'd be happy to modify the patch
accordingly.
TIA,
Sebastian

I don't expect too many duplicates, so I guess we can close it.
Don't hesitate to report any issues, if you experience problems by
using wpasupplicant's own roaming mode or with scripting wpa_cli.
