Need help on connecting ubuntu to a Belkin wirelss router - (FIXED)

[AC Perdon]

Hi,

Thanks for the inputs JM and Dax. I had it work.

Summary:

Info:

                Router  : Belkin Wireless G Pluss Router
Wireless Adapter : D-Link Air Plus G DWL-G510 Wireless G Desktop Adapter
(Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g)

Router Config:

Security Mode: WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)

Wireless Adapter:

if you do an ifconfig your wireless card will show some thing like this.

ra1     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
          inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx  Bcast:xx.x.x.x  Mask:xxx.xxx.xxx.0
          inet6 addr: ba::10::21b:51ff:fe05:e81d/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:50139 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:8510 errors:4 dropped:4 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:757 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:15575638 (14.8 MiB)  TX bytes:1380722 (1.3 MiB)
          Interrupt:18

#Configuring the connection.

$sudo  ifconfig ra1 down # this will bring down your wireless card.

next

$ wpa_passphrase YOUR_SSID YOUR_PASSPHRASE

 e.g $wpa_passphrase  TEST mypassphase

#output would be:

network={
        ssid="TEST"
        #psk="mypassphase"

psk=a80a3c828fb34ae109d1524dasb6c5044c216a65b1b929f4e91c05ecbcf3900a9

then

#Configure your interface

$vi /etc/network/interface

#add the following:

auto ra1
iface ra1 inet static
address <YOUR_IP>
netmask <YOUR_NETMASK>
gateway <YOUR_GATEWAY>
pre-up iwpriv ra1 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv ra1 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwconfig ra1 essid TEST
pre-up iwpriv ra1 set
WPAPSK=a80a3c828fb34ae109d1524dasb6c5044c216a65b1b929f4e91c05ecbcf3900a9
#this was driven from wpa_passphrase we did awhile ago refer to psk=

Once you have save the config bring up your your wireless card.

$sudo ifconfig ra1 up

if that did not work reboot your pc.

I hope this will help others.
