Basically you have to create/modify two files:
#create file /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicantwpa_supplicant.conf
#modify /etc/network/interfaces
To create /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicantwpa_supplicant.conf do:
<pre>wpa_passphrase "your SSID" yourPassword &gt; /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicantwpa_supplicant.conf</pre>
Now add the following lines at the end of this file:
Then modify /etc/network/interfaces
 
Change the line
<pre>auto eth0
into
#auto eth0</pre>
Add the next lines (replace wlan0 by your wifi interface):
<pre>auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicantwpa_supplicant.conf</pre> To check if your /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicant.conf file is correct you can type
<pre>wpa_supplicant -ieth2 -cTo check if your /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicantwpa_supplicant.conf -d</pre>file is correct you can type
== Notes ==For kernel 2.6.35.8 and above you will see wlan0 instead of eth1.Wifi for kernel 2.6.35.7 seems to be broken, please use 2.6.35.8 or above<pre>wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d</pre>
