<b>Configuring the WG111 to use WPA-PSK on a wireless network</b>

This card works very well in Knoppix 3.9 using ndiswrapper, but is as of yet untested in other versions of Knoppix (to my knowledge).

*'''Commands:
Assuming that the drivers are on the cd in /dev/cdrom, then
mount /dev/cdrom/ /mnt/cdrom/

Find '''ndiswrapper configuration''' under Knoppix->Network/Internet and select '''netwg111.inf''' from '''/mnt/cdrom'''. After that finishes, create the configuration file that you will need shortly using the following command:
wpa_passphrase MySSIDHere MyPassphraseHere > /home/knoppix/wpa_supplicant.conf
Now, use your favorite text editor (if you don't have one, try Kate under the menu item '''Editors''') and edit the
'''/home/knoppix/wpa_supplicant.conf''' you just created (see sample below).

With that completed, run the following command. '''Warning:''' As it is, the command will monopolize your current command window with potentially useful debugging output, including your encryption key; add '''-B''' if you would rather run it in the background (useful when you know it works already), remove '''-K''' to hide your key.
sudo wpa_supplicant -ddKt -i wlan0 -c /home/knoppix/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper

The following grabs an IP address if you use DHCP from your router.
sudo pump -i wlan0

And finally, tell Knoppix where to go to find the internet.
sudo route add default gw ''<Gateway/Router IP address here>''

*'''wpa_supplicant.conf
Note: the bold lines were added in the editing steps for my Linksys WRT54G Router to accept the card. See the Useful Links at the end for a full explanation of all options that can be put in here.
'''ctrl_interface=/home/knoppix/wpa_supplicant
'''eapol_version=1
'''ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="MySSIDHere"
'''scan_ssid=1
#psk="MyPassphraseHere"
psk=''hex representation of the passphrase
'''proto=WPA
'''key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
'''pairwise=TKIP
'''group=TKIP
}
