Or with WPA_SUPPLICANT

1. Copy unisa.cfg file somewhere accessable, perhaps in your ~/.config folder.

2. Kill other wpa_supplicant instances and restart it with sudo wpa_supplicant -c PATH_TO_unisa.cfg_file -i YOUR_WIRELESS_INTERFACE -D nl80211

Note: The bash script con_unisa_net.sh found in this repository automates the WPA_SUPPLICANT process, please edit it and run it with sudo permission?
