Hi all, I'm configuring my fonera in client mode and I want to use WPA-PSK. Really I have done that, but not in the way that i'd like. First I'll show mi network and wireless files, and after I'm going to tell what I want.

network

config interface loopback
        option ifname   lo
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   127.0.0.1
        option netmask  255.0.0.0

config interface lan
        option ifname   eth0
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   192.168.0.5
        option netmask  255.255.255.0
        option gateway  192.168.0.1
        option dns      192.168.0.1

config interface vlan1
        option ifname   ath0
        option proto    dhcp

wireless

config wifi-device  wifi0
        option type     atheros
#       option channel  5
#       option diversity 1
#       option txantenna 0
#       option rxantenna 0
#       option distance  2000
# disable radio to prevent an open ap after reflashing:
        option disabled 0

config wifi-iface
        option device   wifi0
        option network  vlan1
        option mode     sta
        option ssid     essid
        option hidden   0
#       option txpower  15
#       option bgscan   enable
        option encryption psk
        option key     testtest

But I want to use the hex key instead of the password in plain text. I've tried this line but doesn't work:

option key     3e82b064063a7be548adb2db3faf272f0621f1b88843480077c198b2ac2fd2a9

Someone know how can I use that type of password?

I answer to myself, only editing the /etc/config/wireless file it not possible, or at least I can't. For achieve my objetive is necessary to use wpa_supplicant, I've edited the file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and I've put this:

ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
        ssid="essid"
        scan_ssid=0
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk=3e82b064063a7be548adb2db3faf272f0621f1b88843480077c198b2ac2fd2a9
}

The run wpa_supplicant:

wpa_supplicant -dd -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i ath0

And it works.
