Hello srujani,
In order to connect your board to a specific network without using configure_edison --wifi, you can follow the next steps:
ifconfig wlan0 down
# THE FOLLOWING IS JUST ONE COMMAND
cat << EOF > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
config_methods=virtual_push_button virtual_display push_button keypad
update_config=1
fast_reauth=1
device_name=Edison
manufacturer=Intel
model_name=Edison
network={
ssid="YOUR_NETWORK"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
eap=TTLS PEAP TLS
psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
}
EOF
# THE COMMAND ENDS IN THE LINE ABOVE
systemctl restart wpa_supplicant.service
ifconfig wlan0 up
After entering those commands you should be able to connect to a specific network that you specify. If you would like to set this to be ran every time on boot, I'd suggest you to create a system service. You can read https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-111103 https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-111103 in order to learn how to create a system service.
I hope this information helps.
-Peter.
