Yep. It's a bit of a rigmarole by hand. Use
wpa_passphrase SSID >/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(where SSID is your WPA network name) and then type your WPA shared key
and hit enter.
Then edit
vi /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant
to this
INTERFACES="-iwlan0"
DRIVERS="-Dwext"
then
service wpa_supplicant start
you can monitor progress with
iwevent
apparently but I usually use
dmesg | less
repeatedly. Once it's associated, you need to give the interface an IP
by dhclient or directly by ifconfig.
