WPA Supplicant
You must be root sudo -s!
All wireless devices need wpa_supplicant to work correctly, so let's install it...
apt install wpa_supplicant
To avoid issues with rogue wpa_supplicant processes disable the default service...
systemctl disable wpa_supplicant.service
Now using the example wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf file; Copy it into
/etc/wpa_supplicant...
cp -iv wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
You must rename it to match your wireless device if different, or if
you already have a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf file
and you don't want to overwrite it. You can use ip addr to find it.
cp -iv wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf
We only want root to be able to read the configuration as it contains passwords...
chmod -Rv 600 /etc/wpa_supplicant/*.conf
Start the service for our device...
systemctl enable --now wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service
Make sure you change the name of the device if yours is different!
systemctl enable --now wpa_supplicant@wlan1.service
Finally we need to restart the device...
Once again make sure you get the right device!
networkctl down wlan0
networkctl up wlan0
And check everything is working..
networkctl status wlan0
