[Cialug] WPA configuration

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

Does anyone here have wireless with WPA authentication working well? If 
so, how did you get it working? I'm running Debian Testing on a 
MacBook. I have gotten Linux to identify the wireless device, now i 
just need to get the WPA stuff set up correctly.

I would like to regularly connect to 2 different wireless networks, one 
at home and one at work. I've tried looking up instructions for how to 
connect to a WPA-secured network, but it seems that everyone has a 
different way of doing it which all appear to be incompatible and i'm 
not sure how to discern what method is best. For now i wouldn't mind 
having to run a command to get the computer to switch networks, but 
eventually i'll want to automate that somehow so that transitioning 
from one network to another is as seamless as it is when running OS X.
