[AuckLUG] Ubuntu 7.04, wireless card and WPA-PSK?

[Hansel Dunlop]

WPA-PSK (1 and 2) works under Ubuntu 7.04. In fact I'm typing this email on
a lap top connected to just such a network now.

So I guess my suggestion would be general trouble shooting stuff. Are other
clients able to connect to the router while it is using WPA? Is the package
wpasupplicant installed? That seems to be the only WPA related package that
is installed on my system. I'm pretty sure it was installed by default
though.

Cheers

Hansel
