Neo FreeRunner Wifi

Revision as of 20:16, 3 July 2008

To get wlan working on your Freerunner, you can follow these steps:

1. create and edit a suitable /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (use your favourite search engine to find the syntax)

2. execute `ifup eth0`

3. execute `wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B` (-B for running as daemon)

4. get a IP via dhcp: `udhcpc eth0`

That's it, your wlan should now work!

Sample wpa_supplicant.conf:

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

# WPA2:
network={
       ssid="your ssid"
       scan_ssid=1
       proto=RSN
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       pairwise=CCMP TKIP
       group=TKIP CCMP
       psk="secret key"
       priority=50
}

# WPA:
network = {
      ssid="your_ssid"
      scan_ssid=1
      psk="secret key"
      priority=10
}

# WEP:
network = {
     ssid="your_ssid"
     scan_ssid=1
     key_mgmt=NONE
     wep_tx_keyidx=0
     wep_key0="secret key"
     priority=8
}

# Open:
network={
     ssid="your ssid"
     key_mgmt=NONE
     priority=5
}
