So it works without wpasupplicant, good to know.

That all looks good.

The other may work, but i have it as wpa-conf in my file.

Just out of curiosity, have you connected to an open access point? Or
at tried? That part looks like it whould work. The only different
thing I have in my network block is the line:
auth_alg=SHARED
right before my key. I don't know that would work or not. If it
doesn't, the problem is beyond the scope of my comprehension of the
subject, sorry.

My system is sid. I have ifplugd and wpasupplicant installed.
My wlan0 connects without any problem with the following
/etc/network/interfaces file
lvgdell600m:/mnt/wind/software/Linux/dell_sid# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# 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

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# wireless interface
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_essid mohan
wireless_key XX
wireless_mode managed
post-up ifmetric wlan0 5
But I thought to use wpasupplicant so that it can work, where there is
no wep Hotspot.
Hence I installed wpasupplicant. It was working before the new
wpasupplicant version 0.4.8-1 installed. I have also copied
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.dpkg-bak file to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.
I have the following /etc/network/interfaces.
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# wireless interface
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-up ifmetric wlan0 5
I corrected line wpa-conf as said.
I am giving below /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Can you point out where am I going wrong?
How wpasupplicant is started in the new scheme of things? entry in
/etc/network/interfaces is sufficient?

And you can run wep with wpasupplicant. Or you write the parameter direct into the interface file. It is describe on my website (link above). But: is wpasupplicant running or not?

Yepp! I think that the delete from /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is an small misfortune but in the default file you can set the path using the config variable.
