> nmcli radio
|
||||
|
||||
You get an overview of your radio devices. You're told that eth0 deals with your ethernet and wlan0 deals with wifi. wlan0 is a file which represents your wifi device.
|
||||
|
||||
> nmcli wlan0 wifi rescan
|
||||
|
||||
> nmcli device wifi list
|
||||
|
||||
Now to connect.
|
||||
|
||||
> nmcli device wifi connect [SSID] [your password] [wifi password]
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use
|
||||
|
||||
> nmcli -ask device wifi connect [SSID]
|
||||
|
||||
And it'll ask for your password, so you're not typing it in in full view.
