Connect to Wi-Fi on Duo S

Make sure you have the antenna plugged in on the board.

Start wpa_supplicant with:

# echo "update_config=1" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

At this point run:
# wpa_cli -i wlan0

Use the scan and scan_results commands to see the available networks:

> scan
OK
<3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-STARTED 
<3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
> scan_results
bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid
11:22:33:44:55:66       5745    -78     [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS]    MYSSID-5G
11:22:33:44:55:67       2427    -85     [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS]    MYSSID

To associate with MYSSID-5G, add the network, set the credentials and enable it:

> add_network
1
> set_network 1 ssid "MYSSID-5G"  
OK
> set_network 1 psk "password"
OK
> enable_network 1

If the SSID does not have password authentication, you must explicitly configure the network as keyless by replacing the command set_network 1 psk "password" with set_network 1 key_mgmt NONE.

Finally save this network in the configuration file and quit wpa_cli:

> save_config
OK
> quit
