Although I haven't set one up myself (my wireless is Broadcom based) the process to making wireless work should be about the same. Once you have the driver squared away, the easiest way to getting WPA Supplicant working is not to edit it directly at all. In Gnome there is a "Network Manager Applet" that can handle connecting to various wireless networks including WEP/WPA and it handles the WPA Supplicant business. I believe there is also an equivalent network manager in KDE but I don't have the exact name off hand. I have successfully used Network Manager to connect to WPA protected wireless networks in Fedora 7, 8, and 9. - NL |
