Figure 5-6:
Adding a
network to
wpa_gui
If your network includes a
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
option, you can click the WPS button at the
bottom-left of the window to perform a one-click setup. Simply press the WPS button on your
router or access point, and then click the WPS button in
wpa_gui
to connect automatically.
When you have filled in the details of your network, click Add. This will close the window and
return you to the main
wpa_gui
window—but now the Network drop-down should have
an entry, named after your wireless access point. At this point,
wpa_gui
will automatically
connect you to the wireless network and an IP address should appear at the bottom of the
screen (see Figure 5-7).
