bash script to connect to wifi
npm install -g wifi.sh
#list currently available wifi networks.
sudo wifi.sh scan
#connect to best network
sudo wifi.sh connect
#add a network to file.
sudo wifi.sh add SSID passphrase
#show current interface
wifi.sh interface
# this defaults to the LAST interface
# it finds, for me, this is the most recent USB wifi
# dongle I plugged in.
# set interface manually like this:
sudo INTERFACE=wlan0 wifi.sh connect
# set wpa_supplicant.conf location
sudo WPA_CONF=/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf wifi.sh connect
Some other wpa_supplicant wrappers on npm,
These both use node, wifi.sh has the distinction that it is all in bash, so will run where there are very low resources, such as on a raspberry pi.
