1. stop network-manager

   using upstart

   sudo stop network-manager 

   using systemd

   sudo systemctl stop networkmanager.service 

2. set basic wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. command overwrite pre-exsiting wpa_supplicant.conf file!:

   echo -e "ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant\nctrl_interface_group=0\nupdate_config=1" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 

3. start wpa_supplicant in daemon mode:

   sudo wpa_supplicant -b -dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 

4. run sudo wpa_cli. start interactive wpa_cli session.

   • verify it's working issuing command status. should see wpa_state=inactive
   • issue scan scan existing access-points.
   • issue scan_result after few seconds show results scan

   • add our bssid , pin:

      wps_reg xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 12345678 

     where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx bssid scan results. should see "ok". wait few more seconds wpa_supplicant picks bssid , tries associate , perform key negotiation. want see ctrl-event-connected, indicate pin accepted , you're associated.

   • type command save, should output "ok". update wpa_supplicant.conf file, specified command line, static configuration new network.
   • now exit wpa_cli hitting ctrl d

5. run sudo dhclient wlan0 ip ap (assuming dhcpd enabled).

6. verify cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf newly updated config-file.

   if went well, should have line under new network titled psk.

good luck!
