Connect to an Access Point using IWCONFIG
I have done the follow steps.
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan (I see my access point without problem)
then...
- sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_ESSID key s:MY_PASSWORD
I get the follow error:
Error for wireless request "Set
Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
I used s: because I want to pass and ASCII password.
What is the error?
Thank you!
Since you're trying to connect to an AP advertising WPA2-PSK, you will have to use wpa_supplicant.
There are GUI frontend apps to connect, you could try wicd or networkmanager.
