Re: [orca-list] Keyboard shortcut for wifi networks?

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

Try running mate-terminal first,
Then run nmtui,
Use up and down arrow keys to get onto activate connection and hit
enter,
use up and down arrow keys to find networks,
Hit enter on network you want,
If network has password and you know it key it in and hit enter,
Wait, you should see that network with delete option don't use it.
Find quit all the way at bottom of menu and hit enter,
Next run
ping -a -c 5 www.google.com enter
and if your speaker beeps you should hear five beeps if you have a
connection.
No keyboard shortcut, but this is the most reliable way I've found to
connect to wifi networks and I don't want to give you any bad
information.
