Hi!<br><br>I use Kubuntu myself, although I never tried wpa_gui.<br>All I do to make it work is compile wpa_supplicant,<br>create a .conf file like so:<br># example .conf file<br>network={<br> ssid="nameofnetwork"
<br> key_mgmt=WPA-PSK<br> proto=WPA<br> psk="secret password"<br>}<br># that's all there is to it :)<br><br>Now, you'll have to alter the ssid and psk values, of course, I<br>put the file in /etc but I guess if you prefer putting it somewhere
<br>else - feel free. Now when running wpa_supplicant you should<br>try the following command (assuming wlan0 is your wireless adapter and<br>that the conf file is placed in /etc):<br>wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
<br><br>Now you should be able to bring up your wlan with the comand "ifup wlan0"<br>as long as your wlan-card is loaded and you've added the correct settings<br>for /etc/network/interfaces.<br><br>In case you haven't, heres what my interfaces-file says about wlan0:
<br># The wireless network interface<br>auto wlan0<br>iface wlan0 inet dhcp<br><br>If your wireless adapter is not working you'll have to fix that first.<br>Good luck! :)<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/28/06,

Hello everybody. I've just installed ubuntu linux (dapper drake flight 3) and discovered it can't connect to wpa networks (correct?), so i have installed wpa_supplicant v0.4.7. I'm having some problems. First question: should wpa_gui work 'out of the box'?
<br><br>In case it's of any help, I am able to connect to wireless networks without encryption and i am able to connect to the the same WPA network with the same laptop but using windows, so it isn't a hardware problem.
<br>
<br>Thanks in advance, miz.
