AVM FRITZ WLAN Stick

This is a way to make the wireless WLAN Stick from AVM run with WPA

Linux Mint Version: Linux Mint 4.0 KDE (I think the other 4.0er will run too)

(please forgive me my school English, but I want to give something back to the community and the MintPeople)

In older version you have to download the driver at: [1] and install it.

From Linux Mint 4.0 the driver is already there.

To test this, unplug the stick, type into a terminal:

tail -f /var/log/messages

and plug in the stick. You will see something like this:

Have fun! The Stick is ready to use. :)

I use WPA. So I have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file as root.

Edit the file like this: (the wlan section)

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-driver wext

wpa-ssid your_ssid

wpa-ap-scan 2

wpa-proto WPA

wpa-pairwise TKIP

wpa-group TKIP

wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK

wpa-psk 96e9abdf216b821234dc515113128e2f6ffe457d0b037c53bcbec200031a8175

Save the file and make a /etc/init.d/networking restart

You will have something like this:

and enjoy your wireless connection to the world.

If anybody will change the ugly English, do it. :)

-Done, it wasn't SO ugly! :) pb
