Hi all,

I have a PC with F8 & a usb wifi dongle and I would like to configure
the PC that when it boots it will automagically negotiate a WPA2/PSK
802.11g link with my Access Point and get an IP address from the DHCP
server behind the AP.

Since the PC boots into runlevel 3 I can not use NetworkManager. Instead
I have the network service enabled. The kernel module for the wifi
dongle autoloads and the dongle is recognized, active and ready to go to
work.

Now how do I configure this WPA2/PSK link to my AP?

Your feedback is most appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick
