rtl8187 and wpa

[davfel]

Hi,

I am trying to set up wpa security on an rtl8187, I was wondering if anyone has done this yet in F7, At the moment I can bring up the network card and connect to the internet but I have been insuccessful at set wpa up. Any help is appreciated

thanks in advance,
dave

If using NetworkManager it is already covered, when left clicking the NM icon and selecting the AP, it should ask for the "default keyring password" and then ask for "wpa/wpa key"

thank you,
I was trying to use system=comfig-network wirhout NM but i am not having luck that way. I did get it goimg eith NM like you said iron_mike. One other questiondoes usins security slow the internet connection down? If I do a speed test now it seems that my transfer rates are halved. Is that possible?
thanks,
dave

It does slow it down some, but actually halving your speed, I would be looking at something else.
