Hi all,
I'm trying to get my Debian (Etch) box connected to the internet. To install my NIC, a Linksys WMP300N, I had to use ndiswrapper; the output from ndiswrapper -l says it works fine. Also, when I run KWifiManager or the network-admin tool, both of them come up with a list of networks to chose from. The essid I want to connect to uses PSK2 AES security, and although I'm using the wpa_supplicant, I can't get connected to it!
I got the wpa_supplicant installed and followed instructions from several tutorials - now, I think there's some misconfiguration which prevents me from getting any further.
Here're some of my config files as they're now:
/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface

I don't see what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me out?
