Where exactly is the wpa_supplicant.conf file?

Fri Mar 27, 2020 5:48 pm

Where exactly is the wpa_supplicant.conf file? I cannot see it on my sd card. Do I have to access it from the terminal? I cannot get raspbian to boot up, but I can get to the screen where it says rfkill has blocked wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

Am using Windows 7
Installed Raspbian via Etcher
Am using Rasberry Pi 4

..

The file is located here:

Code: Select all

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Note you can use the whereis or find command to search for files:

Code: Select all

whereis wpa_supplicant.conf

Code: Select all

sudo find / -name wpa_supplicant.conf
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.
