show all network interfaces ip a

Look for your wireless interface (probably wlan0). This mini-howto assumes wlan0 is the interface to be configured.

Systemd unit wpa_supplicant loads configuration from /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant –and– /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

edit /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant

# Use the flag "-i" before each of your interfaces, like so:
#  INTERFACES="-ieth1 -iwlan0"
INTERFACES="-iwlan0"

setup your network credentials: edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ; and add

network={
   ssid="YOUR_NETWORK_NAME"
   psk="YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD"
   scan_ssid=1
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

start and enable wpa_supplicant.service:

systemctl start wpa_supplicant
systemctl enable wpa_supplicant

check the results: (wpa_state=COMPLETED if authentication to wifi network succeeded)

wpa_cli status

wlan0 can be configured in the cockpit gui(network panel), older method : run the config-network script. (this is quite a blunt tool, i don’t know a better one :hushed:)

What to do if it doesn't work

• check that the sssid can be seen

wpa_cli -iwlan0
> scan
OK

You can try to change the channel of the sssid on your access point you try to connect, the channel 13 was not available for my wifi card
