→WiFi (client mode)
The procedure here described can be used to connect to an Access Point, using the WPA2/PSK security protocol.
As the WiFi driver is not statically linked to the kernel image, it is necessary to load the module first. This operation is automatically done upon boot, as the module is listed in <code>/etc/modules</code>:
<pre class="board-terminal">
root@arm:~# cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
wl12xx
</pre>
In case you need to unload/load the module manually, the following commands can be used:
<pre class="board-terminal">
root@arm:~# rmmod wl12xx
root@arm:~# modprobe wl12xx
root@arm:~# [ 2751.040431] wlcore: loaded
</pre>
<pre class="board-terminal">
root@arm:~# iw dev
