[Casper] WEP, WPA, keychain, security

[Thomas Larkin]

Well

I got some time to research it, but any pointers would be greatly appreciated.  It can be accomplished from the command line for sure, but I just haven't quite pieced it together yet.  I think you need to do it in this manner, which can be scripted:

1)  power off airport card

2)  create certificate for wireless network

3)  create system keychain for wireless network and let the AirPort application, airportd, and system preferences have access to it

4)  Input proper information for wireless key (SSID, passkey, etc etc)

5)  Make that key chain the default wireless network

6)  power airport card back on

Anyone done this?

I too will be doing this same thing about a month from now. I would love to
hear what people have figured out already without having to build from
scratch.
Thanks,
Eric
