1. Create wpa_supplicant.conf. Mine is located at /etc/

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
	ssid="Access Point SSID"
	scan_ssid=1
	proto=WPA
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	psk="Really Secret"
	priority=5
}

2. Put following commands inside a shell script

#!/bin/sh
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth2 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw
dhclient eth2

3. Run the above script to bring the link up.

Now have fun with browsing!

Update: Recently I upgraded my Debian version to Squeeze (6.0). When I was using etch, I used the above script to start wpa_supplicant. Now I no longer use that method. Now I have the following entry in /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
	wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

This will automatically load wpa_supplicant during start up. Also the following commands can be used to bring up and down wireless network.

$ ifdown eth1
$ ifup eth1

I got the following error when I compiled ipw2200 on my laptop.

/home/noorul/software/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.2.2/ipw2200.c: In function ‘ipw_pci_probe’:
/home/noorul/software/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.2.2/ipw2200.c:11937: error: implicit declaration of function ‘SET_MODULE_OWNER’

In my case I was able to find out a solution from some other project. But there is a patch in the bug database. Here is the link http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=1378

But in the case of iee80211, I couldn’t find a straight forward solution. But the following steps helped me. There were several errors across multiple files.

1. I had to make changes to ieee80211_module.c. Here is the patched file.

ieee80211_module.c

2. Then the files ieee80211_crypt_wep.c, ieee80211_crypt_tkip.c

ieee80211_crypt_wep.c
ieee80211_crypt_tkip.c

Once I made the above changes, I followed the normal compilation procedure and everything worked fine. Posting this one through wireless internet connection.

Here is my initial screen shot.

hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

Even when I tried to mount cd-rom drive and access the file /media/cdrom/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.dat, I got following error;

AVSEQ01.DAT: ERROR: cannot read `AVSEQ01.DAT' (Input/output error)

I even tried using dd to copy and create an image of the VCD onto hard disk and loop mount it. But this also lead to input/output error. At that time I was not in a mood to spent more time and find out a solution. I use mplayer for playing media files on my laptop. Today I noticed few things when I ran mplayer command. It displayed the following and hanged.

MPlayer dev-SVN-r19208-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team

Playing vcd://.
track 01:  adr=1  ctrl=4  format=2  00:02:00  mode: 1
track 02:  adr=1  ctrl=4  format=2  00:18:74  mode: 1
track 03:  adr=1  ctrl=4  format=2  37:52:32  mode: 1

When I carefully went through those last three lines I could see the length of the 3rd track to be more meaningful. So I tried playing the 3rd track using the following command and it worked. I need to google and find out why exactly I am not able to access this file directly.

$ mplayer vcd://3
or
$ mplayer -vcd 3

Okay! I have to watch this movie now.
