I'm still trying to connect an Acer TM636 to a local WLAN. I've got an integrated ORiNOCO Mini PCI Card (802.11b), but when I start grml-network to configure eth1 WPA is not offered as choice.
Hm, seems like the orinoco interface does not include the strings 802.11, READY or ESSID, right? What does 'ifconfig eth1' (if eth1 matches your orinoco card) look like?
Then I read that WG511T should work flawlessly. After rebooting I tried to configure ath0 (again with grml-network). The only information I've got is the SSID and the WPA passphrase. But unfortunately dhclient get's no response. :-(
Make sure that /etc/default/wpasupplicant contains the right settings like:
OPTIONS="-Dwext -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
Then check the setup in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. (Re)start wpasupplicant running 'Restart wpasupplicant' and run 'dhclient ath0' afterwards. And of course: Take a look at the syslog (run 'tlog' to watch it).
