    I've got ndiswrapper working with my Broadcom 4306 using my Windows
    driver, and I've got wpasupplicant installed.

    There are two SSIDs within range of me: mine (which is WPA/54g) and
    another (unprotected open 802.11b at neighbors house).

    "ifup wlan0" connects me to neighbors SSID, I get an IP and can surf the
    web. Nice of my neighbor to have that, that means I know the driver is
    working.

    But how can I specify the SSID and connect to mine? I've read the
    commands to make wpa_supplicant start working:

    wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -d

    How can I make "ifup wlan0" call this? /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    contains my SSID and WPA shared private key.
