Prior to configuring the interface you will need to either set-up a test wireless
network or know which available wireless network you want to connect the
EVK to. In either case you will need to know the following information prior to
attempting to connect:
Network SSID.
Security configuration and appropriate credentials. The following uses
WPA2-PSK, you will need to know the PSK.
Set the passphrase of the Wireless network (using WPA2
PSK) you wish to connect to. Use the following command to
