How to enable WPA with the Ndiswrapper driver in Ubuntu

To get started, make sure that the Ndiswrapper driver works normally, without encryption. Create the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file, and insert the following lines into it by changing the ssid and psk values.

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="SSID-ulTauWIFI" psk="ParolaTaWiFi" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA pairwise=TKIP }

Test the connection. Make sure your router transmits its SSID.

sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

If WPA works to load it with the system run

gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

Change the wlan0 section With the following lines:

If you have a static address:

auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

or the following lines if you get an address via DHCP.

auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

Restart the system
