+# Intro
+
+wpa_supplicant configurations are stored in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0 (or equivalent).
+
+A default is presented.
+
+# Generating Keys Manually
+
+> wpa_passphrase [ssid] [password]
+
+For example:
+
+> wpa_passphrase 'Cafe Kosachok' 'Kosachok2019'
+
+This then spills the relevant psk and such to be entered into the wpa_supplicant configuration file.
+
+If you encounter problems, you will probably need to delete the old device pid in (e.g.) /run/wlan0/
+
+Next up, start wpa_supplicant:
+
+> wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0
+
+The -B flag runs this as a background process.  Remove this to see real-time output in order to solve problems.  The -i flag denotes the physical device used for the wifi.  The -c flag points to the configuration file for use.
+
+# Automatic WiFi Connection
+
+> wpa_cli
+
+This has a number of commands to input.  In order:
+
+> scan
+
+> scan_results
+
+> add_network
+
+This outputs a network number, e.g. '3'.  This is the new network you'll work with.
+
+> set_network 3 ssid "Kosachok Cafe"
+
+> set_network 3 psk "Kosachok2019"
+
+OR
+
+> set_network 3 key_mgmt NONE
+
+> enable_network 3
+
+> save_config
+
+... and possibly:
+
+> sudo sv restart dhcpcd 
+
+or maybe:
+
+> dhcpd wlp3s0
