Possible to connect to WPA2 encrypted AP using Live CD?
Is it possible to connect with a wireless network card to a wpa2 encrypted access point using only what is supplied with the 6.3 Live CD?
My wlan card seems to be installed correctly and with ifconfig wlan0 up I can activate it. I also know how to tell it which essid to use. But how can I tell it to use WPA2 and the correct pre-shared key? |
Now,I don't know what you mean by "6.3 Live CD" but you can easily enter encryption key with the command;
Code:
iwconfig wlan0 enc < key > You can try; Code:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp Code:
ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0 |
With '6.3 Live CD' I meant the LFS Live CD version 6.3.
Wpa_supplicant is part of that live cd? |

You may already have figured this one out by now, but just in case you haven't - and for the benefit of others with the same question - the following is how I usually do it. wpa_supplicant is indeed available on the LFS 6.3 LiveCD, so to connect to a WPA-enabled access point, just run these commands after you boot:
Code:
wpa_passphrase <ssid> <passphrase> > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf Code:
iwconfig wlan0 Code:
ping -c 3 google.com |
