[brlug-general] Help with PEAP, TKIP, WPA and wpa_supplicant

[Joe Fruchey]

I run WPA-PSK-TKIP at home, and I've had experience with Ubuntu Edgy
and Fedora Core 6. (with my Atheros-based WNIC)

Edgy worked perfectly OOB. It recognized the card as ath0, it started
up NetworkManager, which found my network and asked for the key.

Fedora doesn't include madwifi, so I installed it from the Livna repo,
rebooted, and had a wifi0. #chkconfig NetworkManager, and $service
NetworkManager start were required. Wi-Fi from the command line is too
much trouble.
