Full quotes are always preferable. If I were in your position I'd
regenerate the file. You've possibly got at least one device there
which is not on the machine. Let the system take care of things.
Be that as it may, you appear to have all necessary firmware and
drivers. So, how do you fancy a bit of low level stuff?
Reboot and first check firmware loading from 'journalctl'. Then
issue the command 'wpa_cli'.
1. wpa-cli
You get a prompt ">". This is interactive mode. A selected
interface should be shown. TAB completion of commands works.
Command history is with the UP and DOWN keys. The following
commands are typed at the prompt.
2. add_network
You'll probably get 0 for the network number.
3. set_network 0 ssid "Your_SSID"
The response should be "OK".
4. set_network psk "Your_passphrase"
The response should be "OK".
5. enable_network 0
The response should be "OK". Authentication and association
should take place.
6. status 0
Has it?
