    wpa_supplicant

    I'm a little confused because I used wpa_supplicant for the first time today, and thought everything went very smoothly, but it doesn't seem like the rest of my computer is utilizing the wpa_supplicant connection. I simply mean that wpa_supplicant says I'm connected, wpa_gui displays the "completed" connection status and says i'm connected, but I am unable to ping any websites or use the internet in any functional way. Any advice ?

    Did you already set your IP and related stuff like DNSs? Or run dhclient or dhcpcd?

    You need to have a valid IP in order to connect

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

    I just didn't add that to my interfaces file, after adding it everything peachy

    I didn't realise you already solved your problem before I posted
