4MLinux is excellent OS I was looking for. Thank you!
1. Is it possible in network configuration to include WPA2-Personal (PSK) Encryption to be AES?
4MLinux-21 has only TKIP,CCMP and I need AES.
2. The Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V does not work in Terminal. How do I copy and paste in Terminal.
In advance I really appreciate your help!
1) WiFi. I am now connected to the Internet via my router, which is setup to use WPA2/AES exclusively. This is possible because CCMP is based on the AES standard. Your WiFi may need something else. Which version of 4MLinux are you running? Is it installed to a hard disk drive?
But also, be certain that your network hardware is new enough to support WPA2. The underlying low-level encryption process (in the hardware) might still be the one used by WEP: the original WPA was designed to be backward compatible with WEP-capable hardware. I'm not sure but that WPA2 might allow the same thing.
Thus, although far more sophisticated key-negotiation and error-detection protocols are now used "on the top half," the physical encryption might still be occurring to WEP standards albeit with a periodically-renegotiated physical key value.
The encryption protocols that are available for wireless networking are still "minimal," and so they should only be considered adequate to protect against "nuisance use" of a particular wireless network, not serious concealment. They of course will do nothing to stop a "coffee-shop spy." You should not use "open sharing" of any resource on your home network: everyone should require a user-name and password, and the data flow between the machines should be encrypted. If you are doing anything of a sensitive nature, it should always be protected by SSL (https) security, and/or by [Open]VPN.

Thank you for your respond.
I use 4MLinux-21 installed on HDD and I have working wired connection to the Internet but no WiFi connection. The router I use, has only AES encryption for WPA2-Personal (PSK) and I thought this is the reason not to have WiFi connection, because 4MLinux-21 in GUI network settings has only TKIP, CCMP.
There is a note “wlan0 is not assigned” after all correct network settings.
Theoretically speaking, there are the following possibilities:
1) You need additional firmware.
or
2) You need additional drivers.
or
3) You need both firmware and drivers.
or
4) Your card is not supported by 4MLinux.
