setting up wireless trying to execute this .conf script to connect using WPA
I typed as per these directions in vi but I need to run the file now, cmod 0755 works for .sh files what do I use for .conf files?
"On a Linux client, install wpa_supplicant and create a configuration file, wpa_supplicant.conf (in Debian, installed in /etc/wpa_supplicant/) like the following: update_config=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 network={ ssid="My_Secure_WLAN" proto=RSN key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=CCMP group=CCMP psk="PASSPHRASE" priority=5 } Again replace the parts in italics to match your setup and run wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (replacing eth1 with your wlan interface name and wext with the appropriate driver for your card; run wpa_supplicant without any options for more information). This command starts wpa_supplicant in the foreground and tries to connect to the WAP" I need to (1) run this as a .conf file and (2) use the proper syntax to execute this script. |
Hi DavidLee1A, Welcome to LQ. You don't run the conf file, you run wpa_supplicant with the options per the instructions and wpa_supplicant should read from the conf file. When you run the following you are telling wpa_supplicant where the conf file lives.
Code:
wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Good luck. ;-) |
