FAQ: How do I connect to a hidden wifi network

[cas]

Since we can't create new topics in the Technical FAQs section, hopefully @Lazar-Demin will review this and add it if appropriate.

You will need to know a few things before you start:

1. The SSID of your hidden network
2. The BSSID of your hidden network
   You can get this by scanning for wifi networks - FAQ: How do I scan for surrounding WiFi networks? i.e. ubus call onion wifi-scan '{"device":"ra0"}'
3. The Encryption scheme in use
4. The Password

Once you have this information, execute the following substituting the placeholder values for your own:

wifisetup add -ssid 'myHiddenNetworkSSID' -bssid '12:34:46:78:9a:bc' -encr psk2 -password 'networkKey123'

Thanks to @Johan-Kohlström for this post

@cas There is a typo in the ubus command line - correctly:
ubus call onion wifi-scan '{"device":"ra0"}'
