WPA(8) WPA(8)
NAME
wpa - Wi-Fi Protected Access setup
SYNOPSIS
aux/wpa [ -dp12 ] [ -s essid ] dev
DESCRIPTION
Wpa handles the authentication and key exchange with WPA
protected wireless networks.
The dev parameter specifies the network interface that needs
to be setup with WPA. The essid can be set with the -s
option. Otherwise, the previously configured essid on the
interface will be used. The -p option will prompt and
install the preshared key or pap/chap credentials into fac-
totum, otherwise the key has to be already present in facto-
tum or an interactive key prompter like auth/fgui (see
factotum(4)) needs to provide it.
The authentication protocol is initiated by the wireless
access point so wpa will background itself after the
keyprompt and establish the encryption automatically as
needed. The optional -1 or -2 arguments can be used to
select between WPA1/TKIP (default) or WPA2/CCMP encryption
with WPA PSK.
The -d option enables debugging and causes wpa to stay in
foreground writing protocol messages to standard error.
EXAMPLES
Setup wireless encryption:
% bind -a '#l1' /net
% aux/wpa -s 9HAL -p /net/ether1
!Adding key: proto=wpapsk essid=9HAL
password: *****
!
% ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether1
