There's a debian package "wpasupplicant (0.5.4-1bpo1) sarge-backport" (sarge = oldstable I believe) that might do the job.

You can find this here.

Great!

Please walk me through the steps to get this installed on my Frugal from harddrive system.

I have never knowingly used Debian.    :;):

Load the mydsl dsl-dpkg extension, then either:

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list so that only the line with oldstable in it is uncommented.
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install wpasupplicant

or

1. Download the file from the link above.
2. dpkg -i wpasupplicant*_i386.deb
3. Take note of missing deb files, download and repeat

I have v0.4.7 compiled. This adds support for the Zydas chips found in a lot of the generic usb dongles. It seems to try using wext no matter what you specify, but then uses what you specify so there are some warnings/errors when it is run with -Bdd, but it all works OK with WPA & WPA2. I've posted the entire package at:

users.tpg.com.au/cramond/wpa_supplicant-0.4.7_zydas.tar.gz

I just tar & gzipped up the whole directory I used so there is lot of other bits in there. You will find the wpa_supplicant bin file on it's own at:

users.tpg.com.au/cramond/wpa_supplicant-0.4.7_zydas_bin.tar.gz
