On (K)Ubuntu, it is in /etc/Wireless (from memory, the Wireless folder had to be created by myself!). My rt2500 based wifi expects a config file called RT2500STA.dat in a folder called RT2500STA. Simply create the file and folder, then write the details to your file. For example, mine is like this - # Copy this file to /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat # This file is a binary file and will be read on loading rt2500.o module. # Use "vi -b RT2500STA.dat" to modify settings according to your need. [Default] CountryRegion=0 WirelessMode=0 TXBurst=0 TurboRate=0 BGProtection=0 ShortSlot=0 TxRate=0 PSMode=CAM SSID=ssidof your router NetworkType=Infra Channel=11 AuthMode=WPAPSK EncrypType=TKIP #DefaultKeyID=1 #Key1Type=0 #Key1Str= #Key2Type=0 #Key2Str= #Key3Type=0 #Key3Str= #Key4Type=0 #Key4Str= WPAPSK=mysneakypassword #RTSThreshold=2312 #FragThreshold=2312 PSMode=CAM #RFMON=0 Thats all there is to it. Without this file, you can get wep to work and of course unencrypted - but not wpa-psk. You may well discover a basic config file template exists in somewhere like /usr/share/doc/yourdrivername or something.
