Solved Static IP over WPA Wifi

[fullauto2012]

I have a laptop the I installed 10.3 on. Trying to get the Wifi working with a static IP...

root@laptop:/etc # ifconfig

network={

  psk="********" <--- Obvious edit
  priority=5
}

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 192.168.1.1

I am shelled into the machine with the line

ssh 192.168.1.200

So I own the IP. But, I cannot seem to get OUT of my own network....



**EDIT**

I am leaving this up here as an act of contrition.
I am public shaming myself.
In my haste to get online, I neglected to define the defaultrouter= in rc.conf

Sorry.

AFAIK you can leave out

ssid 'NSA Surveillance Van-17'

from rc.conf when you use WPA. wpa_supplicant chooses the SSID by itself.

Putting it into both disables roaming if that's desired because the SSID listed in /etc/rc.conf becomes the only one the system accepts.
