Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying #12

Customer (Torrance Transit) found an issue in configuring the device's WiFi dongle/config to work on their Depot's WiFi. Typing "sudo wpa_cli" results in the error "Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying". Performing a cat on /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file shows that the WiFi is setup with ssid and psk correctly. Typing "ifconfig" shows no IP address listed for wlan0. The dongle's power/current is stable and sufficient and plugged into high-power, wall-outlet & charger. Typing sudo "wpa_cli" earlier in the day worked properly. Several reboots did not resolve the issue. Workaround was to re-write the entire disk image with the fresh image we sent them, then start over with "sudo wpa_cli", which worked properly. Screenshot attached. image1

I find this happens when the wpa_supplicant config file has an error in it, especially if rebooting didn't help.
