     I also created a wpa_supplicant.conf file using the examples from the
     wpa_supplicant docs. It looked like this:
     
     # allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in =E2=80=99whee=
     l=E2=80=99 group
     ctrl_interface=3D/var/run/wpa_supplicant
     ctrl_interface_group=3Dwheel
     #
     # home network
     network=3D{
     ssid=3D"home_net_ssid"
     scan_ssid=3D1
     key_mgmt=3DWPA-PSK
     pairwise=3DTKIP
     group=3DTKIP
     psk=3D"ultra-secret-passphrase"
     }
