Hello list,
I am using wpa_supplicant in debian squeeze. I am using mapping in /etc/network/interfaces as I am using guessnet and the setting is working perfectly well. Here is my configuration
```````````````````````````````````
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 static
test wireless mac 00:1C:F0:3D:4C:C9
address 192.168.1.199
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid "xxxxxxxxxx"
wpa-psk 026d1e67ce2899210d81f4af99cdd
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
# scan hidden SSID
wpa-ap-scan 2
#"RSN" = WPA(2)
wpa-proto RSN
#encryption
#"CCMP" = AES cipher as part of WPA(2) standard.
#"TKIP" = TKIP cipher as part of WPA(1) standard.
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
............ more mappings.........
..................................
``````````````````````````````
So when I run "ifup wlan0" guessnet scan through all the mappings and whenever it finds a match , it correctly configures the wifi. To do the wifi configuration automatic , I have installed ifplugd and the configuration is
```````````````````
INTERFACES="eth0 wlan0"
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES=""
#ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I"
ARGS="-f -u0 -d10 -w -I"
USPEND_ACTION="stop"
``````````````````````
BUT it never works here. Though a lots of online tutorial mention that ifplugd and wpa_supplicant can automatically up the wifi based on the access point detection. Have I missed something ? Please suggest.
Thanks
