Connecting to the internet via wifi – any desktop

never mind wifi

use a lan cable

do wifi when you have a desktop

but some laptops only have wifi

Option 1

nmtui

Option 2

nmcli

Still not on internet
than use this information
to get there

We have the wiki as our guide open:

We follow the wiki and type in the commands we read on the wiki.

We need to know the name of our network interface card or NIC.

ip link provided us the name aka wlp4s0

All applications to connect to the wifi are installed on ArcoLinux, ArcoLinuxD and ArcoLinuxB like wpa_supplicant, wifi-menu, iw, wireless_tools, …

Then we need to set the link to up

sudo ip link set wlp4s0

Then we need to connect to an access point.

sudo wifi-menu

Select the correct wifi and type your password.

Now we should still contact the wifi – it know what to contact and how to contact but there is no connection to it yet.

nmtui

On ArcoLinux we have always networkmanager installed so we have also this nmtui installed.
