  1. This line enables the use of wpa_cli which is used by rc.wireless
  2. if possible (to check for successful association)

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

  1. By default, only root (group 0) may use wpa_cli

ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1

  1. WPA protected network, supply your own ESSID and WPAPSK here:

network={

 scan_ssid=0
 ssid="your_essid_here"
 proto=WPA
 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 pairwise=CCMP TKIP
 group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
 psk=your_psk_here

}

  1. Plaintext connection (no WPA, no IEEE 802.1X),
  2. nice for hotel/airport types of WiFi network.
  3. You'll need a recent version of wireless-tools for this!

network={

 ssid="any"
 key_mgmt=NONE
 priority=2

}
