Import WIFI key?

[deleted]

Can we import WIFI key via a textfile?
It's just a small bash script but as the system in the moment of a new installation does not have acess to WIFI it would be nice to just import a keyfile from /boot with SSID and PSK and then establish connection.

Background: In Windows FAT32 boot partition is visible so we can place a txt file with information in. Then we start the ES frontend and can import "somehow" the WIFI information. I think a new option to network options should be added therefore. Please no comments about using screen KB 😃

why not type it via the menu ?

Because if your key looks like this 1qRkNzNHMhdnYeC0vdKUCHF1EpL7J3eRDHmXfiZBVZ5RvI9pKOXzITvzQdvFQy4 then you prefer a import function. Not a great thing to do, but it's a plus on comfort.

you can put it in clear, it will be masqued after.

nadenislamarre Yes I know but it doesn't matter. Even with a keyboard conneceted is is likely to type in errors. As I said not a great deal but it is big plus on comfort.
It is not important for me if the key is masked or not btw.

I think it is more important to improve BATOCERA with emulators.
