Setting the Wireless Parameters
You must configure wireless parameters, including Service Set Identifier
(SSID), Pre-Shared Key (PSK), and Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID)
after the wireless networking mode is enabled.
A wireless configuration command begins with wireless.
Note: If current networking mode is not wireless, the SSID, PSK and
BSSID values are not applied until the networking mode is changed to
"wireless." In addition, a message appears, indicating that the active
network interface is not wireless.
The commands are case sensitive so ensure you capitalize them
correctly.
