Using wpa_supplicant. If it is not installed, yum install
wpa_supplicant and you will need to edit /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant
and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. Examples are in
/usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant-* or plenty of them online .. You probably
also need to rename/mv the SXXwpa_supplicant in your /etc/rcX.d to start
wpa_supplicant before network.
