+<h1>wpa_add script</h1>
+
+<p>I have this script named <code>wpa_add</code>, which I use to easily add new WiFi when I

+not using Windows 10, and the entirety of Linux is a circlejerk. It is only
+natural that she thinks this way. I use my own distribution that doesn’t have
+things like <code>dbus</code>, or <code>NetworkManager</code>, or one of those common desktop
+environments. You could install it by creating a simple package, but I am happy
+to not have any of those in my system.</p>
+
+<p>This script uses wpa-supplicant to add a new network and reconfigure. It uses
+dmenu for input, however you could replace dmenu calls with some command line

+wpa_add script
+================================================================================
+
+I have this script named `wpa_add`, which I use to easily add new WiFi when I
+am outside, possibly in a cafe. I have written this script because I don't like
+the way my girlfriend looks at me while thinking that I am an absolute moron for
+not using Windows 10, and the entirety of Linux is a circlejerk. It is only
+natural that she thinks this way. I use my own distribution that doesn't have
+things like `dbus`, or `NetworkManager`, or one of those common desktop
+environments. You could install it by creating a simple package, but I am happy
+to not have any of those in my system.
+
+This script uses wpa-supplicant to add a new network and reconfigure. It uses
+dmenu for input, however you could replace dmenu calls with some command line
+prompts. I am doing the following assumptions:
+- You can manipulate `wpa_supplicant` without root access.
+- The configuration is on `/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`.
+- You can edit `/etc/wpa/supplicant.conf`.
+
+If you want to ensure the above just do the following (as root):
+
+```sh
+# Add yourself to the wheel group if you aren't already.
+adduser user wheel
+
+# Change the ownership of /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
+chown root:wheel /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
+
+# Make sure the configuration can be edited by the wheel group.
+chmod 664 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
+```
+
+Your `wpa_supplicant` configuration must include the following line (or something similar):
+
+```plaintext
+ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
+```
+
+
+Here is the script
+
+```sh
+#!/bin/sh
+# Script to add wpa_supplicant networks through dmenu
+
+if [ "$1" ]; then
+ name=$1
+else
+ name=$(dmenu -p "Please enter network name, leave empty if you want to search" <&-)
+fi
+
+[ "$name" ] || {
+ wpa_cli scan
+ name=$(
+ wpa_cli scan_results | sed 1,2d | while read -r _ _ _ _ ssid _; do
+ # Hidden wifi are not to be returned
+ [ "$ssid" ] || continue
+ echo "$ssid"
+ done | sort -u | dmenu -l 10 -p "Please choose WiFi")
+ [ "$name" ] || exit 1
+}
+
+pass=$(dmenu -P -p "Please enter your password, leave empty if the network has open access.")
+
+if [ "$pass" ]; then

+$pass
+EOF
+else
+ printf 'network={\n\tssid="%s"\n\tkey_mgmt=NONE\n\tpriority=-999\n}\n' "$name" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
+fi
+
+wpa_cli reconfigure
+```
+
+
+As I have said, you could do something similar in a command-line-only tool as
+well. This one uses `fzf` on WiFi selection.
+
+```sh
+#!/bin/sh -e
+
+stty="$(stty -g)"
+trap "stty $stty" EXIT INT TERM HUP
+
+if [ "$1" ]; then
