# WiFi
Use WiFi without a separate network manager. Needs "_dhcpcd_" (or "_dhcpclient_"), "_wpa\_supplicant_", "_iproute2_" and wifi firmware (like "_iwlwifi_"). The name of a network is also called "_SSID_".
* Create the configuration file (as root, not sudo):
`wpa_passphrase <NETWORK_NAME> <PASSWORD> > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`
* Delete non hashed password from /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
* To connect type the following command (as "_root_" or with "_sudo_"):
`ip link set wlan0 down`
`ip link set wlan0 up`
`wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext`
`dhcpcd wlan0`
You can save the last step in a script.
