Why won't PI Zero W connect to WIFI network?

Question

WiFi

I have a router and PI Zero W with Kali Linux. For example, SSID = name, PASSWD = 12345678
I write in the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

network={
    ssid="name"
    psk="12345678"
}

In cmd I write:

wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

But I see an error

No network configuration found for the current AP
....

And how now to join my router? Maybe there are other methods for Kali Linux?

Answer 1

Surely the problem is with the wpa_supplicant.conf file. It makes sense to explicitly specify at least the value of the key_mgmt parameter:
network={
ssid="YourNetworkSSID"
psk="Your Network's Passphrase"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Also be sure to make sure that the UNIX format/encoding of this file is correct. Use, for example, notepad++ Literally:
"Make sure to create the wpa_supplicant.conf file in a text editor set to UNIX encoding (if you're doing this from Windows)."
