The advantage of using the dongle concept is that the wireless driver is executed externally from a host device, which means the host device does not have to use CPU or memory resources in order © 2018-2024 StarFive Technology www.starfivetech.com... - Page 8 DHD, which is a host-based driver used to provide a communication channel with the dongle device firmware. The following is the digram of the Broadcom SDIO WLAN Dongle concept. www.starfivetech.com © 2018-2024 StarFive Technology All rights reserved...

This allows wpa_supplicant to overwrite configuration files after modifying the configuration. For example, add new network statement blocks through wpa_cli tool, write configuration to wpa_gui, change password, etc. Network Settings There are 3 examples to add network for wpa_supplicant.conf file: © 2018-2024 StarFive Technology www.starfivetech.com All rights reserved... - Page 18 1.3.1.2. Install WPA Supplicant Follow the steps below to install WPA supplicant. 1. Execute the following command to connect to the network configured in wpa_supplicant.conf: wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d& Example Output www.starfivetech.com © 2018-2024 StarFive Technology All rights reserved...
