WPA with intel 3945 device

Crooksey · 2007-12-05 21:07:21

So for the past couple of weeks on and off I have been trying to connect to a wireless network with wpa-psk encryption.

Network manager, buggy and wouldn't connect
Profiles, messed up all my network config's

So my question, on a base install of arch Linux., what programs will i need to connect to a wpa wifi network with a 3945 card.

I have to be able to boot into arch, without connecting to a network, then run a script to connect to a network (i connect to several wpa networks), so does this mean sevral profiles?

I have scratched my head for a long time and been bugging people on irc, but can seem to solve the issue, looking for help

Or the new arch way, netcfg2: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39505

If it doesnt work, let me know! I want to work out any possible remaining bugs! So if it fails, post your essid, what level of security you use, how you gain an IP and any other relevant information about the network. Also don't forget the exact output of netcfg2.

Ill happily beta test it

Update, works beautifully, what a great thing for arch

I cant belive i got this working in under a minute, when i spent so much time playing with loads of other scripts etc, great job !
