Update : good news for me. :)
I just get WPA to work using wpa_supplicant.
(I am using the version ural-linux-0.8.2.tar.bz2 now.)
I add a line in /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
(It's eth1 for me)
The file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="my ssid"
psk="my secret passphrase"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
}
Then as root,
# wpa_supplicant -Bw -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi
# ifup eth1
