[arch-general] WPA2 - How to set with ACX card??

[David C. Rankin]

Listmates,

	My second Arch box is now complete (well almost:-) This time a desktop box
with a zytel wireless lan adapter using the TI acx chipset and its firmware 2
is the acx111_2.3.1.31/tiacx111c16 firmware slice. The card is detected and
works fine it think... I can open kwifimanager and it has my access point
associated and I can watch the generic packets blip by and watch the strength
meter do its thing, but I cannot authenticate :-(

	My system is WPA, and no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find anything in
Arch that would all me to configure the wireless as anything other than WEP.
Bummer. Wep isn't allowed within 500 feet of anything I deal with. After
spending a little time playing with aircrack, if you haven't already, you will
definitely feel the same. Most wep secured wireless networkss can be cracked in
less than 30 seconds. (why do you think I'm never without a wireless connection
-- no matter where I go;-)

	So what tools are available to configure this acx111 card to use WPA-TKIP or
WPA2? In that other Linux OS, the knetworkmanager utility did a great job with
the Atheros bashed card in my laptop, XP has no problems with the card (this
box is dual boot) so I know the hardware works fine. Any suggestions?
