Your_essid should be replaced by the name of the network. After we’ve installed the packages we should be able to encrypt passphares with the following command: wpa_passphrase your_essid your_ascii_key My network is configured with WPA2 but the configuration procedure for others kind of networks should be quite the same. The packages installed will allow us to configure wifi and encrypt the password.
