We propose a potentially practical scheme to generate a W state of N superconducting qubits (SQs) placed, respectively, in N separated transmission-line resonators (TLRs) which are coupled by a superconducting coupler qubit (SCQ). In our scheme, there is no need to apply any classical driving pulses during the whole operation process. The interaction between the SQs (SCQ) and the TLRs is resonant and the strong coupling between the SQs and the TLRs can be readily achieved, as a consequence the whole entanglement time is very short and we can obtain a high fidelity. Moreover, by using a SCQ as coupler qubit, our scheme can be controlled and implemented easily in experiment. The superconducting system is easy to be integrated, therefore our proposal can be useful in scalable distributed quantum networks.
