2018-03-01 03:13:42 +00:00
Use WiFi without a separate network manager with this simple guide. Needs "_dhcpcd_" (or "_dhcpclient_"), "_wpa\_supplicant_", "_iproute2_" and wifi firmware (like "_iwlwifi_").

2018-03-08 06:22:22 +00:00
`ip link set <DEVICE_NAME> down`
`ip link set <DEVICE_NAME> up`
`wpa_supplicant -B -i<DEVICE_NAME> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext`
`dhcpcd <DEVICE_NAME>`

You can save the last step in a script.
* Note: The name of a network is also called "_SSID_".
