Hi all,
I mentioned in our last meeting that on new versions of the RPI, putting
your WiFi networks into 'etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf' no longer
works.
I've written this script that may be useful. Just make sure nmcli is
installed on your RPI.
#!/usr/bin/bash
#
# Add WiFi networks
#
# The commands below will give you a list of all currently active networks.
# You'll need to do a CTRL-C to get out of it. I couldn't put it in this
script.
#
# $ sudo nmcli dev wifi rescan
# $ nmcli dev wifi list
#
# To remove a network:
# $ sudo nmcli connection delete "<SSID>"
#
MSG="Below are the currently configured networks.\n"
if [ "$1" = "" ] || [ "$2" = "" ]; then
printf "SSID Name and password are needed to configure a network.\n"
printf "$MSG"
nmcli connection show
exit 1
fi
sudo nmcli connection add type wifi con-name "$1" ssid "$1" \
wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk wifi-sec.psk "$2" connection.autoconnect yes
printf "$MSG"
nmcli connection show
exit 0
If you don't pass in the SSID and password, the script will tell you what
networks are currently configured.
There is also, in the comments, a command to delete a network you no longer
want.
Let me know if you have any issues.
