Jim Green is using laptop lspci says the Wi-Fi is:
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev
10)
How can he see if it's in use. Nothing says it's unclaimed. Is this
firmware supplied with Slint?
What's the easiest command line wifi setup for blind users?
nmcli is very simple. He must look at the manual withmany examples but to
start a wifi he can run as root:
nmcli dev wifi con ssid_name password his_password name "something"
Name is not mandatory and quotes are necessary IMHO if there are sapces
but...
Best.
