Missing a wireless / WPA piece

Folks;



I'm configuring a new laptop, I've gotten over the hurdles of firmware and 
WPA-PSK is working as long as I iwconfig the essid onto the interface.

On my previous laptop, something prompted me for a passphrase to allow access 
into the WPA-PSK protected network after I had wpa_supplicant configured I 
just have no idea what package it was I had always figured it to be part of 
wpa_supplicant.

Can anyone fit another piece into the puzzle.

Thanks,

Terry
