I'm trying to get a handle on what's needed to run the wpa supplicant.
Is there some way I could get assistance getting it started? I'm
using
the ipw2200. What items are necessary for the .config file? Does
someone have a versatile example that works for most cases?

cheers for linux devel,
matias

On what distribution? Most are set up to automatically run wpasupplicant
if the access point requires wpa encryption.

The /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file is the file wpa uses.
It's contents depend on the AP it is dealing with.
There are examples in that file.

OK, this is what I've found:

1. Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.10-105.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Thu Dec
24 16:26:26 UTC 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

2. What is the instruction to check if a connection is wpa?

3. Looking thru the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file, the entire contents
is:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

Would you think that this is sufficient?

I think it depends on your network environment.

The wpa_supplicant.conf usually has some network sections setting
parameters for your network.

A sample section for WPA with psk is e.g.:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="your ssid"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="your psk"
}

for more compilicated settings you could read the wpa_supplicant.conf
manpage. There are many examples covering the typical network setting.

Your can start wpa_supplicant manually by wpa_supplicant -c path-to-
config-file -i interface -D driver (-D wext should work in most
cases),
or use some user interface like wpa_cli or networkmanager in kde/
gnome. I have no experience with the latter :)

I check my process table and found wpa_supplicant running. How can I
make sure
this application is doing what it is supposed to?
