 Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 7:39 am Post subject: Please have a look at my wlan-config: |
 |
|
Good morning,
i have no deeper knowledge about wlan, all i know is, that there are different encryptions with different programms to use them (wpa_supplicant, iwconfig).
I figured out the pasted config after reading several wiki- and google-results.
What i want is the possibility to scan the net, choose an available network for login and that's it.
This scan must work for all, wpa, wep and no encryption!
Somewhere i read, that the actual wpa_supplicant can do wep, too?
So perhaps i do not need iwconfig any more?
So how do i have to tune my net-config to enable this?
Kind regards, Florian
PS: Perfect would be, if i can do this in KDE so everyone could use it. Is there a way for this?
| Code: | # Konfiguration
modules_wlan0=( "ifconfig" "iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
# Diese 3 AccessPoints vorziehen
preferred_aps=( "OhneSchutz" "MitWEP" "MitWPA" )
# WEP und WPA brauchen hier Eintrge
key_MitWEP="s:WEPkeYalsAsciiCode enc open"
key_MitWPA="s:WPAkeYstehTwoanderS enc open"
# Die eigentliche Konfiguration für WEP/WPA erfolgt mit ifconfig/iwconfig/iwpriv:
iwconfig_MitWEP=( "channel=5" )
iwpriv_MitWEP=(
"set AuthMode=WEPAUTO"
"set Key1Type=1"
"set Key1Str=WEPkeYalsAsciiCode"
)
iwconfig_MitWPA=( "channel=9" )
iwpriv_MitWPA=(
"set AuthMode=WPAPSK"
"set EncrypType=TKIP"
"set WPAPSK=WPAkeYalsAsciiCode"
)
# IP mit DHCP beziehen
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
# dhcpcd timeouts
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10" |

in your /etc/conf.d/net put something like this:
| Code: |
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=5
preferred_aps=( "ZyXEL" )
config_ESSID=( "ZyXEL" )
config_ZyXEL=( "192.168.1.23/24 brd 192.168.1.255" )
routes_ZyXEL=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )
dns_servers_ZyXEL=( "195.29.150.3" "195.29.150.4" )
|
and in yours /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=1
network={
ssid="ZyXEL"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0="something"
disabled=1
}
|
I currently don't have any wpa encrypted networks, so i don't know the right syntax.
If you want to choose networks from kde, then emerge wpa_supplicant with qt3 useflag. |

So everytime i found a network, i'll have to insert the keys via shell and restart the service? That's very uncomfortable, i am talking about a laptop for technicians in our corporate and they are no linux-geeks, so i'll have to solve this as simple as possible...

Yes, i got a wpa_supplicant_gui, but it's only for wpa, isn't it? And there are LOT's of options there, that i don't understand.
All in all, the best would be, if i could integrate the network scan and the choosage into the networking-options from the kde-controlcenter, inclusive the security-key input....
Any ideas? |

In /etc/conf.d/net you only put static IP. If IP is not set for the wireless network then it uses dhcpcd.
You can add wep/wpa keys and networks in wpa_gui as normal user (if you are in wheel or some other group which is in wpa_supplicant.conf) if you have set this in wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: | ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=1 |
No need for editing /etc/conf.d/net if you are using dhcp. |

| In fact, you can use wpa_supplicant for a WEP,WPA,WPA2 key and even no encryption at all. |
