Yup, no need to use WPA_supplicant, but you will need to use a GUI that supports WPA (for example KWlan) or make
the following changes to /etc/network/interfaces:
{{{
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "youressid"
pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set Channel=6
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="yourpassword"
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0
ifup ra0
}}}

The changes you will have to make is to essid and WPAPSK and Channel, but also possibly to EncrypType if you use AES.

Here I plan on listing all of the hardware I have and how to get it working under Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

Ralink Wireless Card w/WPA

This card is supported out-of-the-box in Dapper Drake, and what is even better is that the card's driver supports WPA! Yup, no need to use WPA_supplicant, but you will need to use a GUI that supports WPA (for example KWlan) or make the following changes to /etc/network/interfaces:

auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "youressid"
pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set Channel=6
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="yourpassword"
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0
ifup ra0

The changes you will have to make is to essid and WPAPSK and Channel, but also possibly to EncrypType if you use AES.
