There's no configuration file for wpa_supplicant at all. It seemed to
me that the Debian way of using it is by some scripts that refer to
entries in /etc/network/interfaces. I have no way of knowing if the
Debian version of wpa_supplicant is modified in some way.
However, after creating a configuration file from the example in the
man page:
network={
ssid="home"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="very secret passphrase"
}
and running above command, I'm getting:

Now what does this tell me? Is WPA-PSK supposed to work for WPA2? I
tried it with the router set to "WPA-Personal" and "WPA / WPA2", but I
got the same output from wpa_supplicant each time.
Hm, googling about the error message ("socket(PF_PACKET): Address
family not supported by protocol") finds: http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2006-June/013571.html
Checking the kernel configuration shows that "Packet socket" in the
networking options is indeed disabled. I've enabled it, and now
wpa_supplicant seems to get a connection:

This isn't right yet, but it seems to work :) I'll unplug the cable
from eth4 and check if it does ...
I take it that it should work now the Debian way by making entries in
/etc/network/interfaces?
Thanks for your help!
