+## Basic Linux WiFi/WPA2 configuration
+
+These are helpful if you don't have network-manager or whatever installed, eg
+if you are on a headless computer with no wired ethernet.
+
+Basics with `iw` and `ip`. These tools can't do WPA2 on their own:
+
+    iw dev
+    ip link set wlp3s0 up
+    iw wlp3s0 link
+    iw wlp3s0 scan
+    iw wlp3s0 scan | grep WSSID
+
+
+Do WPA2 setup and DHCP:
+
+    wpa_passphrase W.A.S.T.E. > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-bootsrap.conf
+    # enter password
+
+    wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlp3s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-bootsrap.conf
+    # leave running in a terminal
+
+    dhclient wlp3s0
