The wireless connection wizard seems to have trouble making a WPA (PSK) connection. A way to make it work is given below. All commands are given from a terminal (start one by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T) and as the root user. In the original Eee operating system you can become root by typing sudo su (+ enter), if you've switched to Eeedora like me, type su (+ enter) and then the root password. assuming your access point is called "myAP" and your passphrase is "hello world", type: /usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase myAP hello\ world > /etc/my_wpa.conf (prefix every space in the passphrase with a backslash) cd /usr/bin create a file wpa using a simple editor, for example: joe wpa (in this editor, press Ctrl+k, h for help) copy and paste this text into the editor, or type it in: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -iath0 -c /etc/my_wpa.conf sleep 3 /sbin/dhclient & save the file, then exit the editor chmod 755 wpa From now on, you should be able to start the wireless connection by typing (as root) wpa in a terminal. After a few seconds, you should see stuff like: DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1 bound to 192.168.1.4 -- renewal in 36989 seconds (don't worry if your numbers are a bit different, as long as you get the DHCPACK and the "bound to" message you're good to go)
