I am doing it differently and it is complex.
1. I have following at /etc/rc.loacl
` ` ` `
wpa_supplicant -B -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c /usr/local/etc/my.wpa_supplicant.conf
` ` ` `
and at /etc/network/interfaces I have
` ` ` `
mapping wlan0
script guessnet-ifupdown
map default: office-wifi
map office-wifi open unknown
map timeout: 12
# map init-time: 12 # for slow drivers
map verbose: true
map debug: true
iface office-wifi inet dhcp
test wireless mac 00:1C:F0:3D:4C:C9
post-up /root/bin/FIREWALL start
# if all else fails: pick an open network
iface open inet dhcp
test wireless open
wireless-essid any
wireless-mode auto
` ` ` `
How can I remove the wpa related entry from rc.local and add directly at
/etc/interfaces ?
Thanks
