[Solved] Given this wpa_supplicant.conf snippet placed on the boot partition:country=US ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="HomeWiFi" psk="password123"... | Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi - Security and Deployment

Given this wpa_supplicant.conf snippet placed on the boot partition:

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
  ssid="HomeWiFi"
  psk="password123"
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

What will happen when the Raspberry Pi boots?

AIt will connect to the Wi-Fi network named 'HomeWiFi' using the provided password.

BIt will fail to connect because the country code is incorrect.

CIt will ignore the Wi-Fi settings and use Ethernet only.

DIt will prompt for Wi-Fi credentials on first boot.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze wpa_supplicant.conf content
The file correctly specifies country, control interface, and a network block with SSID and password.
Step 2: Understand Raspberry Pi behavior on boot
With this file in boot, Pi will use these credentials to connect automatically to 'HomeWiFi'.
Final Answer:
It will connect to the Wi-Fi network named 'HomeWiFi' using the provided password. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Wi-Fi auto-connect = D [OK]

Quick Trick: Correct wpa_supplicant.conf connects Wi-Fi automatically [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Assuming country code must be different
Thinking Ethernet is preferred over Wi-Fi
Expecting user prompt for credentials
