Script Bash para conectarte a una red Wifi desde la consola

El post de hoy lo dejo a modo de apunte por que me ha resultado muy útil. Estaba yo toqueteando un equipo sin entorno gráfico de manera remota y me interesaba activar al red Wifi de la casa donde se situaba este equipo. Recordando un poco caí en la cuenta de que un día había encontrado por algún sitio un fantástico Script Bash ara conectar el equipo la red Wifi.

Como sé que la red nunca deja de sorprenderme, buscando un poco me encontré el mismo Script que recordaba, pero un poco más afinado. En este caso, alguien ha sido capaz de crear un script para configurar una conexión wifi mediante un asistente usando networkmanager.

Yo todavía lo he modificado para mi uso propio y personal, pero aquí voy a dejarlo tal cual lo encontré para que todo el que quiera pueda trabajar con el sin mi código por el medio.

Instrucciones

Accedemos a la web de pastebin, lo copiamos y pegamos en un nuevo archivo, y le colocamos un nombre como wifi.sh, por ejemplo.

Tendremos que darle permisos de ejecución con +x:

sudo chmod +x wifi.sh

1	sudo chmod +x wifi.sh

y por último lo ejecutamos como todos los scripts (desde la terminal) pasándole como primer argumento la interfaz Wifi que queremos conectar (en mi caso será wlp9s0). Si quieres saber como se llama tu interfaz con un ifconfig lo sabrás.

sudo ./wifi.sh wlp9s0

1	sudo ./wifi.sh wlp9s0

Este script lo he probado en Ubuntu 16.04, Debian 8 y raspbian (Raspberry Pi).

Por si acaso lo quitasen de Pastebin, voy a dejar aquí apuntado este fantástico script.

Esta es una prueba más de que la gestión de redes por consola en GNU/Linux es estupenda. Podemos hacer lo que queramos, desde gestión DNS, configuraciones TCP/IP, hasta ataques por fuerza bruta a redes Wifi para sacar contraseñas.

No obstante hay una cosa sencilla que podemos hacer que quizás no conocieses, y es obtener un listado de las redes Wifi, para después conectarnos a ellas sin necesidad de ninguna GUI.
