hello all
im pretty new to linux but i am constantly trying to learn more.
regarding wireless connection i was curious to why iwconfig doesnt support passphrase?
is it a security issue or what?

hm interesting.
i find it extremely annoying that i have to find the hex key in order to connect to a network.
most of my friends are not very computer savy and dont even know what a hex is, and when i ask they always give me passphrases.
so if the passphrase is "shark" i can use
iwconfig eth0 essid NETWORK key s:shark
??
because i am seriously contemplating installing wicd or something

Its explained here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … nual_setup
For WPA you will have to use wpa_supplicant for which the encoded string will be given to you by wpa_passphrase.

I tell you what m8, I use wicd and I love it. But I use it at work (on the machine I am on now actually) and it's nice because I switch to various networks all the time.....
Also, I noticed that once I configured and connected using wicd, my wifi connects even when I'm out of X, which means wicd makes for a great config too.
