			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;ello again,  after some head scratching and beer drinking and lots of trial and mainly error I have now worked out how to get my Freerunner to connect to my WPA network at home <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This is a very rough guide and there is probably a much better way to do it <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  The better way is waiting until August for the ASU to be released with a decent tool for doing this automatically <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>All I know is that it is working here <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Oh you will want to do this all over ssh btw <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Step 1:  vi   /etc/network/interfaces and make the wireless section look like with the obvious bits modified:<br />
<code><br />
# Wireless interfaces<br />
iface eth0 inet dhcp<br />
wireless_mode managed<br />
wireless_essid **********PUT YOUR ROUTER'S ESSID HERE**************<br />
wpa-driver wext<br />
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf<br />
</code></p>
<p>Step 2:  run wpa_passphrase followed by your essid so in my case:<br />
<code>wpa_passphrase 100acre</code><br />
It will then ask you for your WPA key<br />
It will return a block of code all we want from this is the line beginning psk= so copy that and paste it somewhere safe.</p>
<p>Step 3: edit your wpa_supplicant config file :<br />
<code> vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf</code><br />
and make it look like:<br />
<code><br />
# File: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf<br />
network={<br />
ssid="****PUT YOUR ROUTER'S ESSID HERE INSIDE QUOTATION MARKS"<br />
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK<br />
psk=******put the output of wpa_passphrase here but no quotation marks*******<br />
}<br />
</code></p>
<p>Step 4. Edit sysconfig for wpa_supplicant :<br />
<code> vi /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant</code><br />
and make it look like:<br />
<code><br />
# File: /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant<br />
INTERFACES="-ieth0"<br />
DRIVERS="-Dwext"</code><br />
Step 5:  There is no step 5</p>
<p>Step 6: ifup eth0</p>
<p>The first DNS request I made took aaaaages but eventually came back then after that it has been snappy <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Have fun <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Any corrections / ideas let me know <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I know this is not perfect but it did get me online <img src='http://da.mned.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
