Hey Bill, Weird, what sort of error is it giving you? That absolutely should work without any issues.. Dumb quesiton, do you have flow control enabled? (Last character on your STAT should be an E to accomplish this.) Sometimes that can cause this. Editing the wpa_supplicant file can be a bit of a challenge from the M100 with a traditional editor.. I do find it easier to either have my wpa_supplicant file pre-loaded, but there are options..
When sitting at your local coffee shop, scan for wireless networks. Run: *sudo iwlist wlan0 scan *to list the nearby networks. Do some fancy grep work or make sure you have your dot-matrix printer at the ready to capture it all. It's gonna scroll across the screen for the next 10 minutes, so sit back and enjoy your coffee, enjoy all the new friends you will make with your dot matrix printer screaming away - or alternatively just look for the wifi network on your phone. To add the config from the M100 and not use an editor: sudo wpa_passphrase *SSID-of-WiFi-Here* >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (Always make backups of the original files when on the M100! Easier to copy back than to try and edit with a tiny screen.) It should prompt you for the network password. Enter that and it will append the network to your existing wpa_suplicant.conf file. Then issue: sudo wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure This will activate the changes.
