 How can I make ifup wlan0 call this?

Put that command on a pre-up line in /etc/network/interfaces under wlan0.
man interfaces will give more detail on the format of this file.

Connecting to a particular SSID

2004-09-29 Thread William Ballard
I've got ndiswrapper working with my Broadcom 4306 using my Windows 
driver, and I've got wpasupplicant installed.

There are two SSIDs within range of me: mine (which is WPA/54g) and 
another (unprotected open 802.11b at neighbors house).

ifup wlan0 connects me to neighbors SSID, I get an IP and can surf the 
web.  Nice of my neighbor to have that, that means I know the driver is 
working.

But how can I specify the SSID and connect to mine?  I've read the 
commands to make wpa_supplicant start working:

wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -d

How can I make ifup wlan0 call this?  /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 
contains my SSID and WPA shared private key.
