In order to connect to the WiFi network a proper configuration needs to be provided. This tutorial shows how to do this using the ''wpa_supplicant'' tool.

Create or open the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file (for example with the nano editor):

<pre>root@visionsom:~# nano /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1

network={

ssid="<NETWORK_SSID>"
psk="<NETWORK_PASSWORD>"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA2
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
scan_ssid=1
}</pre>

The network in the example is protected with the WPA2 standard and requires a password. The <NETWORK_SSID> and <NETWORK_PASSWORD> fields need to be changed according to the existing network configuration.

Create or open the ''/etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0'' file and enable the wlan0 interface and the DHCP client:

<pre>root@visionsom:~# nano /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid any
wpa-driver nl80211
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf</pre>

The interface is configured for hotplug connection - the system will not wait for the connection at the boot time, but will connect when the network will be discovered. in order to connect to the network during boot, change the first line to:

<pre>auto wlan0</pre>

Reboot the system and check the available network interfaces. The wireless network (wlan0) should now be enabled and configured:

<pre>root@visionsom:~# ip a
...
