Setting Up a Wireless Internet Connection

Objectives

Here we will show you how to hook up your LEAF Box to an uplink access point using Wifi.

Prerequisites

The software used to hook up to an uplink access point is called wpasupplicant and is packaged in the wpasupp.lrp package. You should be familiar on how to obtain LEAF packages from either a tarball in the LEAF file area or to download it using your internet connection.

All LEAF packages can be configured using the CLI interface and you may have seen instructions floating around the net on how

Declare the packages

To build a wireless access point one needs to add the Package hostapd.lrp to leaf.cfg. The dependencies libssl.lrp, libcrpto.lrp and libnl.lrp will be loaded automatically.
