== Wifi setup ==

To bring station to wifi follow these steps:

1) create or update /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0

 ONBOOT=yes<br/>
 DEVICE=wlan0<br/>
 TYPE=Wireless<br/>
 ESSID=xxxx<br/>
 RATE=auto<br/>
 
 BOOTPROTO=static<br/>
 IPADDR=x.x.x.x<br/>
 NETMASK=x.x.x.x<br/>
 BROADCAST=x.x.x.x<br/>
 NETWORK=x.x.x.x<br/>
 GATEWAY=x.x.x.x<br/>
 
 USERCTL=no<br/>
 NM_CONTROLLED=no<br/>
 MODE=Managed<br/>
 PEERDNS=yes<br/>
 IPV6INIT=no

2) disable eth0, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

 ONBOOT=no

3) edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, add output from command 

 "wpa_passphrase <ssid> <passphrase>

4) set service "wpa_supplicant" to be started on boot

 chkconfig wpa_supplicant on

5) set system parameter in file /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant

 INTERFACES="-iwlan0"

6) reboot

It is good to have physical access to station to be able in case of problems make corrections ;). To use both interfaces one active and one as backup see [[Bonding]].
