[Voyage-linux] Atheros AR5001X+ 0.7.5 Alix master AP

[(spam-protected)]

Many thanks

Works!

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
      address 192.168.2.2
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      broadcast 192.168.2.255
      gateway 192.168.2.1
      up iwconfig wlan0 channel 2 essid Mynet mode managed
      wpa-ssid MyNet
      wpa-psk mywpapassphrase

I'm wondering if there is any way to avoid writing the password in clear...


BR,

Davide
