Connecting to a hidden network on Arch Linux
20 Oct 2016 in TIL
If you're using netctl
to manage your network connections on Arch and need to connect to a hidden wireless network, make sure that you have Hidden=yes
in your config file e.g.
ini
Description=Your DescriptionInterface=wlp6s0Connection=wirelessIP=dhcpPriority=10Security=wpaESSID="<SSID Name>"Key="<PASSPHRASE>"Hidden=yes
netctl
will refuse to connect without Hidden=yes
, even if all of the other options are correct.
