Re: Connect To WIFI In The CLI

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@arrl.net>]

Some simpler means of doing this should be already be included in Debian Net Install CD ISO.

We have nmcli and nntui and ceni which all are accessable to screen readers.

Those disabled folks with memory problems would never remember these long commands.

The solution is already available, it just needs to be implemented.

try the following  to connect:

sudo ip link set wlt1s0 up
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlt1s0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/(YourOwnFile.conf)
sudo dhclient wlt1s0

You will get an error message but it should connect. This has to be done
manually each time you boot up so I have it in script so that if I don't
want on the internet I do not run it.
