wpa_supplicant is what you need. The website for it is here: http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/
As far as I know there is only one other supplicant for Linux. It's called xsupplicant: http://open1x.sourceforge.net/ Most distros should have packages for these two apps since they are the only way you can connect to a wpa secured network with Linux. On Gentoo wpa_supplicant is the only wireless package you need. I have wireless-tools installed as well but it's not needed. On other distros I'm not sure what else would be needed. ~bernie ---- Original message ---- >Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 00:12:39 -0500 >From: Rob Sherwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [UM-LINUX] wpa_supplicant works with umd-secure.
