Please Help,

I have been trying to get WPA going on my notebook, its an asus V6 with
the intel ipw2200. I have read all the info (often contradicting) from
the ubuntu forums and posts.

If any one has succesfuly got this to work can you please give me some
pointers. WEP works fine but i dont want to use it as i live in a very
dense area and dont want to get cracked in 10 mins!!!

Why is this so hard... Does any one know if future releases of ubuntu
will make it easier to use WPA? Its not like its new technology or
something..

PS using ubuntu Dapper with all latest patches and the wireles access
point is a Linksys WRT54GC

Thanks in advance

I'd just installed ubuntu 6.06 off the DVD onto a fresh system and
followed the instructions here:

It worked fine. After the reboot I had two network icons, one with a
tiny red triangle in the lower right. Left-clicking on that one showed
local access points. I selected the one I wanted and followed the
prompts, and everything worked great.


Yeah, it sucks that the live DVD doesn't have WPA as an option.


They will if we gripe loudly enough. )
