1 Hello Nick,

3 If you are using wpa_supplicant, you then need to
4 edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. In that file put all your access points that
5 you want to connect to like the following:
6
7 eapol_version=1
8 ap_scan=1
9 #
10 # A wpa-psk Site
11 #
12 network={
13 ssid="WPA-PSK"
14 scan_ssid=1
15 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
16 pairwise=TKIP CCMP
17 group=TKIP CCMP WEP104 WEP40
18 psk="wgb9hadi5ektw996s77z4efi4o"
19 eap=TTLS PEAP TLS
20 }
21 #
22 # A wep Site
23 #
24 network={
25 ssid="Wep"
26 scan_ssid=1
27 key_mgmt=NONE
28 group=WEP104
29 wep_key0=BFCD56D8186852F2247A54F1AF
30 wep_tx_keyidx=0
31 }
32 #
33 # Attempt at any wireless
34 #
35 network={
36 ssid=""
37 scan_ssid=1
38 key_mgmt=NONE
39 }

41 I have many sites in my wpa_supplicant file and I connect to the closest one
42 at the time.
43
44 The only thing that I have in my network file for my wireless is the
45 following:
46
47 hotplug_wlan0="no"
48 wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dhostap"
49 config_wlan0=( "dhcp")
50 dhcpcd_wlan0=""
