OK, thanks. Same as "auto <interface>"?
The best documentation I've found is here.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wpa_supplicant
For command line operation, authentication credentials can be in
/etc/network/interfaces.
Alternatively credentials can be in
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
with this line in /etc/network/interfaces.
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(I haven't seen an example with all the wpa-supplicant configuration in interfaces.)
Once that is arranged I need only three commands.
ifdown wlxa0f3c10a28f7
ifup wlxa0f3c10a28f7
ip a # To see the current status.
Wicd is no longer needed but leaving it installed seems harmless. (When
wayland/weston is reliable I'll try to survive without lxde.)
This is the only oddity evident after ifup wlxa0f3c10a28f7.
DHCPDISCOVER on wlxa0f3c10a28f7 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
send_packet: No buffer space available
dhclient.c:2445: Failed to send 300 byte long packet over wlxa0f3c10a28f7 interface.
Nevertheless, after a few more lines from DHCP the link works.
Any ideas about buffer space?
As Stefan mentioned, terms "client/server" work. I'm the client attempting
to authenticate to a server.
Thanks, ... P.
