Connecting with wpa_supplicant, have to use wpa_gui to enter passw.

I'm issuing the following command when I try to connect with wpa_supplicant

# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

It won't connect before I start wpa_gui and enter a password in a box that comes up. Why do I have to enter a password? I have used wpa_passphrase to mask the real password and put it in wpa_supplicant.conf file. The wiki don't say anything about entering a password manually.

What do I have to do to use wpa_gui to choose witch network to connect to? wpa_supplicant have to be running first as a deamon, right? But it's not possible to run wpa_supplicant -B alone.

My wpa_supplicant.conf file.

##### wpa_supplicant configuration file ###############################

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

#
# University eduroam wireless network.
#

network={
    ssid="eduroam"
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    eap=PEAP
    phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
    identity="someidentity"
    psk=somemaskedpassword
}

I just had to add a password line in wpa_supplicant.conf. Now I don't have to use wpa_gui to enter a password.

My advice:  Use wicd.
