Install WIFI on Ubuntu linux via terminal

 

Steps:

with lsusb we can first see if the device is recognised correctly.

then type: iwconfig then use the Tab key to get to your device name

then edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa.conf

and place there:

network={

ssid="network_id",

psk="encoded_password"

} 

(you need to supply your own network_id and encoded_password,

you can get the encoded_password by typing:

sudo wpa_passphrase your_ssid

then type a password

and you'll get sample config file with the encoded password, you can overwrite the original file with.

Next: start the wpa supplicant with:

suto wpa_supplicant -Dnext -iwxl...(wifi interface id) -cwpa.conf

 

Enjoy!
