Thank you for your help. It works. I live in a condo building. As |
| 17 |
a regular user "wpa_cli scan" followed by "wpa_cli scan_result" shows |
| 18 |
approximately a couple of dozen machines. BTW I've disabled MVM and |
| 19 |
wifi still works. |

One last question; I occasionally see signs in various places saying |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Our network name is "foo" and password is "bar". |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
My reading of the wpa_cli man page indicates I should use... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
wpa_cli password foo bar |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
...to log on. Is that correct? |
