Thanks for your tip.

Could you surf to https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse, look under the sub-heading "WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK", paragraph 2 with the statement "Use the WPA passphrase to calculate the correct WPA PSK hash for your SSID by altering the following example:"

$ su -l -c "wpa_passphrase myssid my_very_secret_passphrase > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"

The above command doesn't work in Debian 11. The output is:

su: Authentication failed.

In addition to yours, What are the valid commands? (I shall provide feedback to the people in charge of Debian Wiki's website.)

Best regards.

Stella
