    Where is wpa_supplicant.conf in knoppix 5.1.1

    I see many instructions for creating this file, but how do you write that to a cd. There must be some configuration file someplace on the CD, I just do not know where to look.

    Do I have to re create it every time I boot up?

    Thanks

    With the lack of the wpa_supplicant.conf file, I have found this way to connect to the internet. Anyway this can be made into a script that will automate the task.

    1. from root shell start kwifimanager
    2. Select configure from the menu
    3. Select activate button
    4. Close configuration
    5. Scan for networks
    6. Enter essid for desired network
    7. Select connect button
    8. close kwifimanager.
    9. enter pump -i wlan0 at the root shell

    Can some shell script be made so that these do not have to be done manually every time. Also can the essid be saved across sessions in my persistent disk image?

    Thanks

    And here's another way to configure wireless connection using Knoppix 5.1.1

    Start root terminal (from Utilities, root terminal)

    netcardconfig

    you will see an interface with the wireless adapter
    (On my Fujitsu laptop with builtin IPW2200 wireless it is eth3)

    Enter the ESSID (this can be found from your router setup, use an ethernet cable or another PC)
    follow the prompts and enter the WEP key and other security settings,

    Just press enter to have channel and frequency scanned automatically

    Finally enter iwconfig in a terminal.
    If an association has been made with the wireless network you will see its ESSID
    Example below

    user@slave:~$ iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.

    eth1 no wireless extensions.

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    eth3 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"Vegetable.net"
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:18:3F:AC:51:F9
    Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0
    Retry limit:7 RTS thrff Fragment thrff
    Power Managementff
    Link Quality=83/100 Signal level=-47 dBm Noise level=-89 dBm
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:2


    Run ifconfig and you should see packets transmitted and received. Hopefully if your connection is good
    dropped packets will be 0. Example below


    user@slave:~$ ifconfig
    eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:35:E1:FA:20
    inet addr:192.168.254.199 Bcast:192.168.254.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
    inet6 addr: fe80::20e:35ff:fee1:fa20/64 Scope:Link
