Using wl command to connect to wireless in embedded device.
by royce2020 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NSBZ)
I have a NF18ACV netcomm wireless router that I want to set up as a wireless bridge. The default web-UI doesn't allow this, and because of the broadcom chip-set it's incompatible with openwrt.
The good news is that now that I've enabled SSH, I can get at an ash shell to the linux kernel that's embedded in the device. It has the wl command, and I can use this to scan for wireless networks, and I can join mine via it's ssid, BUT I can't figure out how to set the pass-phrase an actually make the network well, work.
I've done a bit of googling, but most of the things that I've come across are just reproductions of the man page for wl. They're a bit helpful, they've got me as far as making the join command work but I've no idea how to make this encryption supplicant stuff work.
All I want right now is command(s) I can past into the SSH shell to connect the router as a client to the WiFi.
