WPA Supplicant

wpa_supplicant is a free implementation of an IEEE 802.11i supplicant. It is especially interesting due to its WPA2 and WPA3 capabilities in contrast to other networking software.

Connect to a WPA2 secured WLAN

This part assumes that your network interface is called wlan0 (change it accordingly).

  • First make sure that your network interface is up.
  • Save the authentication details to a file by running wpa_passphrase <SSID> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • Connect to the WLAN by running wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (-B is optional for running the process in the background)
