You could try: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
wpa_cli add_network "AAAA BBBB CCCC" |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
which will return a 'network id'; e.g. 0 if your wpa_supplicant.conf is empty |
| 26 |
and has no AP configured in it. Then use this 'network id' number to specify |
| 27 |
a password: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
wpa_cli password 0 "blah-blah" |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
or |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
wpa_cli password 0 '"blah-blah"' |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
NOTE: Either the "AAAA BBBB CCCC", or the "BELL342" SSID may be for non- |
| 36 |
public users and it could reject your attempts to authenticate if your device |
| 37 |
is not whitelisted, so try the other SSID if one of them won't work. |
