Package: ifplugd Followup-For: Bug #256617 You can use the wpa_supplicant daemon (packaged as "wpasupplicant") for this. Despite the name, it's not limited to configuring WPA. It handles the task of selecting an available wireless network (either managed or ad-hoc) and associating to it (performing whatever authentication is necessary -- WEP, WPA, IEEE 802.1X). Once the card is associated to a network, ifplugd kicks in and brings it up the rest of the way.
I'm using this mechanism with my own prism54 card quite effectively. (I'm using ndiswrapper since I do use WPA and the open-source driver currently only supports WEP, but that shouldn't make a differencei here.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
