+ 1

I would also get rid of all the spaces around the equal signs.
IIRC wpa_supplicant is a bit touchy about these.

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wap_suppplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=TW

network={
	ssid="myssid"
	psk="mypasswd"
}
(priority is useless with just 1 network block)
