@styletwo-wan please any solution?

I have been researching that I have to edit the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file, "
adding: "auth_alg=OPEN " but I always get the "no write permission" warning when I try to edit with nano. There are other way?

Thanks in advanced.

@PUCH84 First, i'd advise you not to post in a topic that has been marked as "solved" otherwise there is very little chance that you'll catch people attention.
Create your own topic ! :=))

Then, concerning the fact you cannot write your file, the reason is that the root system partition is write protected and you need to allow read/write operation prior to modification using nano with the command :
mount -o remount,rw /

Your wpa_supplicant should look like this for open connection :

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=root

network={
ssid="name_of_your_ssid"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN
scan_ssid=1
priority=100
}

@gkralicek2 Thanks so much, but II am still getting the error message after modify the file as you said. The file to edit is wpa_supplicant.config in /etc/ directory or anothe one?

[gkralicek2]

@PUCH84 you have to modify the file named wpa_supplicant.conf and located in etc/wpa_supplicant/ folder (not the one in /etc)

@gkralicek2 Thanks so much! Finally it works!
