Re: Connect To WIFI In The CLI


That is true, especially for people who don't save useful information like I do.
But I save a lot of emails that I think have useful information, and I usually search my emails for a message that contains specific words to see if I saved it.
This list does not get a lot of traffic.
And the windows Jaws lists have a lot of repeating questions.
I have a low-traffic list called Blind-T
The T is for Tech so questions on anything from Linux, to windows, to Ham radio, or any technology are welcom on this list.
Here's how to join that list:

But that means asking questions on a list which have so many times been asked before.

I think it's easier to supply one of the already existing applications like nmcli, nntui, or ceni and just make the progress itself accessable instead of joining email lists and asking questions that have been asked a hundred times.

Fix the problem so no questions are needed.

One thing I have started doing,
When there is a long string to use that someone sent me, and I can't possibly remember all the parts of the string, I copy it and paste it into an editor, and name it with a .sh extension, and send it to the other computer, and run it with bash.

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.
