Hi, As part of the kies software I have released a while ago, there is a script/program called kies__wifi with which one can scan/configure the wifi. It will list the found networks and allow user-friendly configuration which is then written to wpa_supplicant.conf. It is called as in kies_wifi wlan0 or whatever the wifi interface is called. I would actually like some more people to test this. Kies can be downloaded at: ftp://ftp.csir.co.za/MI/National_Accessibility_Portal/wvdwalt/kies-latest.tar.bz2 Kind regards, Willem On Wed, 19 Jun 2013, Doug Smith wrote: > > > Ok, here's the best answer I can give you.

Nmcli, for example does not have all the functionality you might need unless someone knows how to use it, and that > might be of help.
