After a bit of work, I have WPA-2 wireless working at console. To achieve this one needs to do the following:
Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid=”Enter ESSID”
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=hex version of passphrase
}
Next you want to bring the wlan0 up via ifconfig wlan0 up
and run wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
followed by dhcpcd wlan0
The editing of the appropriate rc.d files to automatically do this on startup will provide connectivity to your wifi at login to console.
