This works for me on Knoppix:
1. wpa_passphrase <your_ssid> <your_passphrase> > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
2. chmod 640 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
3. wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
4. pump -i ath0
HTH.
By the way, Winders has become very stable, and Linux a PITA on
the desktop for me.
I mostly using linux via screen via putty/ssh. Emacs in
putty/ssh, too.
It's a shame linux got nowhere with laptop vendors. Knoppix is
all there is.
