There are a few places.. /etc/network/interfaces is one. Or if you install a wireless manager like gnome-network-manager (probably the easiest).
You can also do it manually (this is the way I do it.. more reliable IMHO) using wpa_supplicant. You need to install wpa_supplicant if you don't have it.. and create/edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Then you make a script (say, start_wireless):
Edit that script to contain something like:
Then whenever you bootup you just run "start_wireless" from a CLI or place a desktop icon to it.
You can also do it manually (this is the way I do it.. more reliable IMHO) using wpa_supplicant. You need to install wpa_supplicant if you don't have it.. and create/edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
#
# home network; allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="home"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="very secret passphrase"
}
Code:
touch /usr/bin/start_wireless chmod +x /usr/bin/start_wireless
Code:
killall -9 wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B dhclient wlan0
