FYI to others trying this out= : I built the pi2wifi kernel configuration, but it wasn't able to join = the network. I realized later that the labs version of factotum wont work; = aux/wpa requires 9front factotum changes to handle wpapsk/wpa2 credentials.=

If you apply patch wpa-psk, it will add the required module to factotum as well as installing the aux/wpa command needed for wifi; both of these are imported from 9front. Note that the aux/wpa in the patch is an older, simpler version. If you find it doesn't work for wpa2, it's worth trying the current 9front version instead. I've tested pi2wifi with two APs. One works fine with the older aux/wpa. The other will only authenticate when I use the newer 9front version. (And that AP also makes my ancient Snow Leopard macbook crash hard when it tries to connect.)
