If you also end up using NetworkManager, which is a pain in the butt because of all the gnome crap, I'd recommend looking at the archwiki article for it, it has some new systemd info. ... migrating that info has been added to my todo list. > > $ ip link set wlan0 up > > Cannot find device "wlan0" > > > > iwconfig, id addr, and ip link don't list wlan0. > > iwconfig should list it, here only ip addr doesn't list it unless it's > enabled. Back when I did all of my networking manually; I used * `iwconfig` * `ifconfig` * `dhclient`/`dhcpcd` (I've switched between which I preferred) The general process (for unencrypted networks) was: # ifconfig wlan0 up # iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK-NAME # dhcpcd wlan0 I hope this helps.

Maybe NetworkManager supports what you want. I never needed this feature. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Huh, it looks like that documentation is for a different layout maybe? In the left sidebar, if you click "Issues", it expands, and you should see a "New issue" link.
