5 Yes, with 2.6.24, iwlwifi is not required anymore.

10 Then you haven't read mine^^. I actually have it working beautifully with
11 WPA-PSK and unencrypted. Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf and my /etc/conf.d/net
12 (with passwords removed, of course^^):
13
14 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
15
16 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
17 ctrl_interface_group=wheel
18 update_config=0
19 fast_reauth=1
20 ap_scan=1
21
22
23 network={
24 ssid="WLAN1"
25 psk="<key>"
26 pairwise=TKIP
27 group=TKIP
28 priority=5
29 }
30
31 network={
32 ssid="WLAN2"
33 psk="<key>"
34 pairwise=TKIP
35 group=TKIP
36 priority=500
37 }
38
39
40 network={
41 ssid="lrz"
42 key_mgmt=NONE
43 priority=500
44 }
45
46 network={
47 key_mgmt=NONE
48 priority=0
49 }
50
51 /etc/conf.d/net (with comments):
52
53
54 modules=("wpa_supplicant")
55 wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" # This, you need
56
57 #preferred_aps=( "WLAN1","WLAN2" ) Do not set this: wpa_supplicant chooses
58 #the APs itself
59
60 #Network configuration
61 config_WLAN1=( "192.168.178.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.178.255" )
62 config_WLAN2=( "192.168.178.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.178.255" );
63 #
64 routes_WLAN1=( "default via 192.168.178.1" )
65 routes_WLAN2=( "default via 192.168.178.1" )
66 #
67 dns_servers_WLAN1=( "192.168.178.1" )
68 dns_servers_WLAN2=( "192.168.178.1" )
69 #
70 gateways_WLAN1=( "192.168.178.1" )
71 gateways_WLAN2=( "192.168.178.1" )
72
73 Also, I have a handy little script which I will attach. It stops the net.wlan0
74 initscript, unloads the iwl module and reloads the module. The initscript
75 automatically restarts.
