Headless network setup
If you are using a headless system and you aren't using an ethernet connection,
you face a chicken-egg issue of how to connect the device to WiFi via ssh when
the device isn't yet on the network.
You can get around this by saving a file called wp_supplicant.conf to the
/boot directory of the device. This specifies the SSID name and password and
will be used to auto-connect when the device boots.
For example:
country=GB
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="SKYVL7XP"
scan_ssid=1
psk="WIFI_PASSWORD"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
