debian: configurating wifi

On the ubilinux version of Debian for the Galileo 2, here is how you can add a hidden SSID WPA2 Network:

Check if the wlan0 interface is listed:

ifconfig

If its not:

ifup wlan0

vi /etc/network/interfaces

Add the following lines to the file, replacing NetworkName and pass with your own.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid NetworkName
        wpa-psk pass

Restart the networking service:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

You can also try:

ifup wlan0
ifconfig wlan0

But this didn't work for me the first time around.
