How do I set up multiple wireless networks for Raspberry pi with the Linux provided by Emlid?

Raspberry pi 3 Linux wireless config

I need to set up multiple wireless networks in wpa_supplicant.conf . I followed the process as suggested for LInux, but unfortunately still cannot connect to a newly added network. Is there anything different I need to do?

Thsi is what my wpa_supplicant.conf looks like:

country=GB
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
ssid="wireless0"
scan_ssid=1
psk="xxxxxxxx"
id_str=“home”
}

network={
ssid="wireless1"
scan_ssid=1
psk="yyyyyyyyy"
id_str=“cell”
}

and my /etc/network/interfaces:

pi@navio:~ $ more /etc/network/interfaces

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto initwifi0
allow-hotplug intwifi0
iface intwifi0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

auto wlan1
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface home inet dhcp
iface cell inet dhcp

It’s not needed to change /etc/network/interfaces file if you want to add new network to the list.

@kirtiprabhu

network={
ssid=“wireless0”
scan_ssid=1
psk=“xxxxxxxx”
id_str=“home”
}

network={
ssid=“wireless1”
scan_ssid=1
psk=“yyyyyyyyy”
id_str=“cell”
}

These changes of wpa_supplicant.conf should be enough to make everything work.

Note: if both wireless0 and wireless1 are available, your Raspberry will connect to wireless0 because it’s listed first in configuration file.
