Re: authenticate with wpa and wpa2

["Lukasz Szybalski" <szybalski@gmail.com>]

I figured it out...its here:
http://lucasmanual.com/mywiki/FrontPage#head-27628e277bcc9055bd2e5b1563a2244a4236e25f

Open /etc/network/interfaces

vi /etc/network/interfaces

*Where you see "iface eth2..." add the following lines, but change
ssid and password:

iface eth2 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid thisismynetworkname
wpa-key_mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto WPA
wpa-pairwise TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-psk thisismypassword
wpa-dribver wext

*Exit, and now type:

ifup eth2

*Done. If you want you your wireless card to connect each time you
boot your computer add this above "iface eth2.."

auto eth2

thx
