EeePC WPA Fix

Updated April 01, 2008 @ 04:02 PDT

I’ve noticed many people are having problems with EeePC WPA. The first is simple fix that will hopefully get into the next version of the Xandros-based OS for those that have spaces and other characters in their wpa passkey (psk):

On line 50 of /usb/sbin/xandros-wpa-config add double quotes around:

PSKOUT=`/usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase "$ESSID" $WPA_KEY`

becomes:

PSKOUT=`/usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase "$ESSID" "$WPA_KEY"`
