[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#409076: wireless-essid setting in /etc/network/interfaces needed?

[Sven Joachim]

Hi,

here at home I don't need the wireless-essid setting in
/etc/network/interfaces to connect to the AP with a hidden SSID.

The following settings work for me both on my desktop with the rt73usb
driver and on my laptop with the b43 driver:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
      wpa-driver wext
      wpa-ap-scan 1
      wpa-scan-ssid 1
      wpa-ssid "hidden"
      wpa-proto WPA RSN
      wpa-pairwise CCMP
      wpa-group CCMP
      wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
      wpa-psk "top-secret"

I don't have a wpa_supplicant.conf on these systems.

Regards,
        Sven
