Wireless
Note only the subscribed "install version" of Webconverger can persistently keep your wireless configuration between reboots.
Wireless setup works by directly mapping wpa boot configuration names onto wpasupplicant for Debian.
Example 0, essid 'home' with no security
Simply appending wpa-ssid=home wpa-key-mgmt=NONE to your boot command
line should set your machine up for these wireless settings.
Example 1, hidden essid 'home', no/disabled security
Appending wpa-ssid=home wpa-key-mgmt=NONE wpa-ap-scan=1 wpa-scan-ssid=1 will create the following configuration in /etc/network/interfaces.
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid home
wpa-key-mgmt NONE
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-scan-ssid 1
WARNING: Hidden essids are trivially detected with tools like Wifi Analyzer. Setup your Access Point to use WPA please.
Example 2, broadcasting essid 'home', with WEP HEX key BBE54998315E7E1616B8462B45
Append wpa-ssid=home wpa-key-mgmt=NONE wpa-wep-key0=BBE54998315E7E1616B8462B45
WARNING: WEP is deprecated and insecure technology. Please use WPA instead.
Example 3, broadcasting essid 'home', with WPA key uiopzxcv
Append wpa-ssid=home wpa-psk=uiopzxcv
Example 4 "Spaces in the ESSID", broadcasting essid 'Hopstock Gjestenett', with WPA key uiopzxcv
Please avoid spaces in ESSIDs. In this case we workaround with a encodeURI('Hopstock
Gjestenett'), to get the following boot recipe:
wpa-ssid=Hopstock%20Gjestenett wpa-psk=uiopzxcv
