Hi Frank,

The piece that I was missing was specifying the wpa_supplicant.conf file in

find this obvious, AFAICS neither the wpa_supplicant man pages, nor the
/etc/network/interfaces man page indicate this linkage. Once I found how
to specify the wpa_supplicant.conf file in the /etc/network/interfaces file
it all made much more sense and I was able to make it work.
Do you mean that the pages were missing information on how to use
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf
or how to use
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-driver nl80211
wpa-ssid HotSpot1
wpa-bssid 00:1a:2b:3c:4d:5e
...
?
Thanks for your concern! (Someone else posted it as a 'bug'.)
Yes, I am that person. It is a bug when manpages do not make it clear
how to use or configure a program. Thanks for catching it.

Jonathan
