Re: How to set up wireless for text mode login

I've got Fedora 10 on my home "server" with an old wireless B card installed. If I start X and run system-config-network I can successfully bring up the wireless network using Network Manager, so support for my wireless card is already built-in. But as soon as I "log off" and go back to run level 3 (I boot up in level 3 and start X by hand) it shuts down my wireless connection.

I'd like to set this machine up so the wireless network comes up automatically at reboot. I've got the router set up with WPA2 and AES so I need to store the key somewhere. Are there good instructions for doing this somewhere?

First you need to modify wpa_supplicant.conf here is one of my entries:

network={
ssid="IEEE.1x"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="me"
password="mine"
ca_cert="/usr/share/ssl/cert.pem"
phase1="peapver=1"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=10
}

network={
ssid="rsa2008peap"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="me"
password="mine"
ca_cert="/home/rgm/data/ms1der.cer"
phase1="peapver=1"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=10
}


Then you need to run:

ifconfig eth1 up

Or something similar. Read the man to get the right -D value.
