eth0, and lo, and... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
wlan0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 |
| 5 |
ether 00:26:c6:4a:b4:92 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) |
| 6 |
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) |
| 7 |
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 |
| 8 |
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) |
| 9 |
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 |

Next steps are to start wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli |

Even specifying "wpa_cli -i wlan0" fails. The config files... |
