This network uses WPA personal with TKIP encryption.
WPA personal, be it with TKIP or AES, is the most common and easiest feature you could imagine for wireless.
I happen to be a blind Arch user, and before someone goes shouting at me to "input a feature yourself" for yes, I have read the Arch way document and understand it in it's entirety, however I am not a programmer, simiply a user of an OS< and in the passed, when I used Arch, I was always on a Ethernet connection, so i had little to worry about.
I always have the highest respect for blind users - and I felt sorry when I was very rude to one on IRC before he told me he was blind. Seriously, I couldn't manage using a computer, or a system like Arch if I were blind.
I primarily use Chris Brannons TalkingArch CD, wich is based off of the origenal CDs that are released, and are the exact same net install cDs, just that it uses the Speakup Linux screen reader.
I know I encouraged him to release such a CD at one point, but I never knew he actually did it. Great to hear that this exists now.
Isn't this fairly strate forward to incorperate into the AIF system as Thomas was mentioning earlier with regards to wireless for daily use by those like myself and probably others? As technology advances, the need for wireless will begin to outway the need for Ethernet, if that is not already being the case.
It is not a problem - it just has to be done. I am curious though: Is using the dialog-based systems like AIF even possible or convenient with a screenreader? I imagine it to be very difficult. Wouldn't it be easier to have a simpler interface that just asks questions and expects answers, rather than a dialog-based system?
