For those with Atheros (madwifi) cards, the command is:

wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi

Precede this command with:

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta

to set up ath0 and follow with the ifconfig commands to assign IP addresses to ath0.

Regards,

Jonam

Edit 20.06.06: After testing this for quite a while, it appears WPA supplicant is not stable under DSL 2.1b. I am unable to get pump to assign IP addresses to ath0 and the wireless connection usually times out within 10 mins or so. I can only manually assign an IP address to ath0 but again the connection times out and I have to do an "ifconfig ath0 down" and repeat the manual connection method using ifconfig to restore the link.

Could someone tell me how, in detail, they got wpa working? On my dsl v3 frugal installation I get several dependency problems on "dpkg -i wpasupplicant_0.3.8-1_i386.deb": libc6, libncurses5, libreadline5 and lssl0.9.8. First 2 later versions required while last two are not installed. What to do?
