Normally I'd say google it but I couldn't find it there! So here try
this:
http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_spplicant/
Here's how I run the whole thing:
modprobe ndiswrapper # (I did the whole setup thing before this)
iwconfig wlan0 essid YeahRightImNotTelling # replace with yours
iwconfig wlan0 channel 6 # try others if it's in use by others
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.10 # what ever ...
sleep 1 # I had a little trouble if I rushed things
wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
sleep 2
route add default gw 192.168.0.254 wlan0
My wpa_supplicant.conf file is a lot of comments but with only this
entry:
eapol_version=1 # could try 2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid= "YeahRightImNotTelling"
psk="Your PSK"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
priority=5
bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55
}
Replace 00:11:22:33:44:55 with the MAC address of your WRT54G.
