## WiFi
Use WiFi without a separate network manager with this simple guide. Needs "_dhcpcd_" or "_dhcpclient_", "_net-tools_" or "_iproute2_", "_wpa\_supplicant_", and the WiFi drivers for your wireless card (like "_iwlwifi_" and its "_ucode_"), which in part can be installed from a package usually named "_linux-firmware_", but they may not be complete (this provides "_ucode_" but not "_iwlwifi_").
-__NOTE__: The "_\<DEVICE_NAME>_" can be either "_wlp3s0_" or "_wlan0_". Change accordingly the following commands to suit your needs.

You can save either example in a script to activate the Wi-Fi whenever you want.
