Anybody got a working wireless wpa interfaces file?

I am working on my first wireless connection (Debian Etch Madwifi driver)
and have got it working with WEP, but not with WPA. It has to be my
/etc/network/interfaces file but so far the info that I have found is for
Windoze or doesn't make sense.

Anybody got a working config file, or a link to a Linux/WPA page?

Thanks any

You need wpa_supplicant.

Thanks. I had just run across that and was about to research more.

P.S. What I didn't mention before is why I posted such a simple
question. I am having to surf on a 24k dialup line, which makes any
rapid research a major pain, with 5+ minute load times on some of the
pages.
