====== Ubuntu - Networking - Netplan - Connection to Wifi WPA2 ======

Here is a working YAML file for connection to local WPA2 wifi Network.

Create this file in /etc/netplan.

<file bash /etc/netplan/wpa2.yaml>
network:
    version: 2
    wifis:
        wlan0:
             renderer: NetworkManager
             match: {}
             dhcp4: true
             access-points:
                 "wpa2 network":
                     password: "the wifi password goes here"
</file>

<WRAP center round info>
An assumption is that there is only one wifi device in the system.  If this is not true, replace **match: {}** with something more specific.

The **wpa2 network** part is actually the SSID.
</WRAP>

<WRAP center round important>
In YAML, indentation matters, so ensure that this is maintained in the YAML config file.
</WRAP>


Run the following to enable the change:

<code bash>
netplan generate; 
netplan apply
</code>

 and things should work.
