Configuring WiFi by Weston desktop

Configuring WiFi manually
Before configuring WiFi it is best to shut down other interfaces:
# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig usb0 down
Now let’s start WiFi:
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iw dev wlan0 scan | grep ssid -i
The last command will list the WiFi hot spots in range. If a WiFi network uses WPA authentication the following
commands will connect to it:
# cd
# cp /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf .
# wpa_passphrase [SSID] [passphrase] >> ./wpa_supplicant.conf
Please insert the name of the WiFi network and the passphrase in the command above without quotes or the
brackets.
Now connect to the WiFi network.
# wpa_supplicant -B -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -cwpa_supplicant.conf
The connection can be checked by:
# iw dev wlan0 link
When connected to the network IP address can be requested by:
# dhclient wlan0
