My Pi 3 Install Log (9): Wireless Connections

The biggest advantage that makes Pi 3 stands out from the older generations are the built-in WiFi and Bluetooth.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

to search for available hotspots:

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

note the SSID of interest, setup password for wifi.  (yes, plain text storing password)

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

You’ll need to add or edit the following:

network={
ssid="SSID"
psk="WIFI PASSWORD"
}

now restart wifi module

sudo ifdown wlan0
sudo ifup wlan0

for bluetooth, i tried the below, package not found.

sudo apt-get install bluetooth-pi

so i did this instead, works:

sudo apt-get install bluez bluez-firmware

the command below starts the config program... with its prompt

bluetoothctl

enter 'help' for available commands.

to search for devices:

power on
agent on
scan on

and of course, to turn off, use 'off' in place of 'on'.

didn't install 'blueman' yet.  download 18MB -> 6x MB.  i don't need it for now, like command line.
but as ref:

sudo apt-get install blueman

sudo reboot
