Re: wpa_supplicant - how to get going

For someone who has always run wireless by using conventional

"network" daemon running, and never been able to get wpa_supplicant
working, does anyone havce a howto that describes what changes are
needed to go from a working conventional system to using
wpa_supplicant (with WEP encryption)?

Assuming that /etc/wpa_suppicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has apropriate
entries, and that /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant has been edited for
an appropriate driver etc, what other steps are necessary to get
going assuming that previously a good wireless connection was
running with WEP encryption with the standard method?

I have been using NM since FC5, but prior to that I used the standard
network scripts with a WPA AP. I had to make some changes to the
scripts and I sent a diff to the list during a thread last August.
Perhaps that thread and the diffs will help you a little.
