installed minimal debian stretch on t430s. installed the respective iwlwifi drivers. however i am unable to setup a wifi connection. need to download desktop env. XFCE
in link 1 ip link show returns lo<LOOPBACK>, enpos25<BROADCAST,MULTICAST>, wlp3so<BROADCAST,MULTICAST>
in link 2 my system doesnt have the other utilities wpa_applicant, iw
what are the steps to setup the wifi connection?
1) Change the wifi security from WPA/WPA2 to WEP of your access point AP.
2) Connect to the AP:
Download and install libiw30 and wireless-tools.
iwconfig wlan0 essid "AP_here" key "s:password_here"
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
dhclient wlan0
route add default gw GATWAY_HERE
ping -c2 8.8.8.8 # ping test
3) Install the wpa_supplicant package :
apt update
apt install wpasupplicant
(network-manager package is useful, allowing you to connect through nmcli command line )
4) Change the security settings of your access point to WPA/WPA2. Using the wpa_supplicant you will be able to connect to an AP protect with WPA/WPA2.
