WPA setup

WEP was easily being setup with Cacko, WPA is a bit more complicated. You will not be able to set it up via the Graphical Interface.

Here are the summary of the steps involved:

1. Use the network applet to create a connection. The settings will be stored in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts

2. Edit the /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts.
Search for the settings related to the connection you have set in Step 1. Add WPA=y in the settings. Note that if you use the Network applet again to modify the setting for this connection, you will have to add WPA=y again as the settings will be overwritten.

3. Last, you will have to modify /etc/wpa-supplicant.conf. Before doing so, back up by doing the following
> cp /etc/wpa-supplicant.conf /etc/wpa-supplicant.conf.bak

clean the file and put the following lines in the file:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
ssid="SSID for your network"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="your password"
}

Done!! :-)
