command-line linux wireless toolkit
This tool is a tiny wrapper around the iw and wpa_supplicant commands to
make wireless networking from the command line simple and pleasant.
wit
Automatically connect to an accessible network,
launching wpa_supplicant as necessary.
win connect ESSID
Connect to a particular ESSID.
If ESSID is surrounded in (//)s, connect to the first matching result.
wit list
List all wireless signals.
wit search TERMS...
Search the known network list by SSID, printing the SSID and password.
If TERMS is empty, print all the SSIDs.
If TERMS is guarded in //s, treat the search as a regex.
wit add SSID
Add a preferred open network.
wit add SSID PASSPHRASE
Add a WPA network with a PASSPHRASE.
The main thing you will need to do is turn off whatever horrible default networking stack is already running.
# update-rc.d network-manager remove
# service network-manager stop
Now to import all your existing passphrases, use the wit-import command:
# wit-import > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
