start wpa_supplicant without passwd

[glenmo]

hi, i'm not a complete newb, but for some reason i can't do this. i'm trying to get wpa_supplicant to start without having to use my password... i followed this already, thinking that the chmod line would help me out, but no luck there...

anyone know how to do this?

hi glenmo, IMHO it is best to install knetworkmanager and create an new wallet with no password. knetworkmanager knows how to handle WEP, WPA, WPA2, the latter 2 with the help of wpasupplicant (transparently). It gets the keys from your wallet.

Re: start wpa_supplicant without passwd

thank you so much -- that sounds like a great idea! i was previously using kwlan, and it works really well. i'll try knetman and we'll see what happens. i'll post my experiences...
