Cannot connect to public wifi during install

Post by violet »

I am having difficulties connecting to wifi in the live session of a base image, specifically because I'm on free public wifi without a password (connecting to a different network isn't possible for me, and neither is ethernet).

The prompt given by `void-installer` doesn't accept no password as an option, and all documentation and experimentation with `wpa_supplicant` and `dhcpcd` has yielded naught. I had an easier time with my limited experience on arch, ironically enough. Some aid would be appreciated, void seems like a lovely minimal distro that I want daily drive. Thank you in advance

Basically, because there is no password on the library wifi, and wpa_supplicant wants a password (as does the ui prompt for void-installer) that doesnt exist, it doesn't work (at least, thats my understanding) Any help would be appreciated
