script or steps to add wifi to sdcard image

@dusty-nv
May I pick your brain for a moment, please? Do you know what exactly edits need to be made to nx sdcard image filesystem to add a simple wifi connection that will automatically connect on a first boot?
so far I tried adding wpa_supplicant as in the tutorial below but it doesn't seem loaded by default setup of nx sdcard image https://docs.duckietown.org/daffy/opmanual_duckiebot/out/duckiebot_network.html

Hey @AndreV84, I don't know how to do it with a file, but personally I connect to wifi with nmcli tool:

sudo apt-get install network-manager
sudo nmcli device wifi connect <SSID> password <your password>

It's persistent on boot.

@dusty-nv ,
Thank you for the update!
However, the situation requires that first boot from sdcard needs the connection already; Before the first boot momentum sdcard is in Host PC.
The devkit is deep into robot without option to connect by any cable; but
sdcard be added to the devkit somehow
but then remote connection over ssh needs to present already so that further commands could be executed from remote computer ;
thank you for your suggestion though

they somehow implemented it at their sdcard
https://github.com/duckietown/duckietown-shell-commands/blob/daffy/init_sd_card/constants.py#L34-L66
but how to apply it to default nvidia supplied sdcard image is a challenge with no solution as it seems

@tokk-nv knows about SD card images
