Yes i able to config using GUI, But when i am configuring GUI i scan and
connect to one AP and then add one more AP mode to it. So finally i will
have wireless configuration.
But i cant keep this config in build option because if i load this
configuration it will load what i connected last time, so next time i cant
scan it anymore it showing the same connected to last AP.
