Problems with wlan0 configuration
Hi I'm getting some troubles trying to create a Debian wheeze 7 from a vm using VMware from a laptop which I get lan and internet connection by a wireless router.
The first problem is that I'm a bit lost trying to configure the wlan to get lan and internet connection.
I've read about that I gotta install wpasupplicant but when I've tried to do as root user apt-get install wpasupplicant and I've got a message like this:
"Package wpasupplicant is not available, but is referred to another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted or is only available in from another source
E: Package 'wpasupplicant' has no installation candidate"
On the other hand, could someone tell me how to configure /etc/network/interfaces and etc/resolv.conf (if this is necessary) after the last step?. I have a router with WPA2-PSK password and I'm using DHCP
Well sorry try to understand that I'm a guy learning on my own at home and a beginner!
Thank you so much for reading and answer!
