wifi

the script I'm using to manage wifi connections

Nota: this script uses wpa_supplicant and only handles wpa encryption.

Sample usage

$ wifi add sample sample_essid
Adding sample (sample_essid)
thisisthekey
$ cat .wifi/sample 
# reading passphrase from stdin
network={
        ssid="sample_essid"
        #psk="thisisthekey"
        psk=53fef14b378242a3dfcfc0cb6444e47d4e46f67be8b0e2f87e7e5b4d765f5aa9
}
$ wifi sample
