The name must match name given in attribute id_str in file wpa_supplicant.conf. This allows to have different network configuration for different wireless networks. Wifi network credentials are stored in a separate file that only root can read File /etc/network/interfaces: auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface home inet static address 172.19.100.107 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway 172.19.3.1 File /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="***********" psk="************" proto=RSN key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP id_str="home" } Bring up or down the interface with: sudo ifup wlan0 sudo ifdown wlan0 The following error messages can be ignored [4]: $ sudo ifup wlan0 ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
