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 creden‐
tials into factotum(4), otherwise the key has to be already present in
factotum or an interactive key prompter like fgui(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 en‐
cryption 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
