Thanks, Kel.
Now I get this error:

# ifconfig wlan0 up
root at caixa:~# ifup wlan0
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1

What are the exactly steps I have to do with put up the wlan0? Perhaps a 
newbee question, but do I really duplicate steps?



Xan.
