Operation not permitted

[Forrest Sheng Bao]

Hi,

Some operation n hardware requires root privilege. You may need to start
wpa-supplicant as a super user. You can type a "sudo" before your commands
and enter the root password after that. You can also type "su -" or "su
root" to be a super user.

Cheers,
Forrest
