The entirety of the systemd project is almost certainly already installed.

== Usage ==

=== Wireless ===

First, identify your wireless interface using `networkctl(1)`.

Second, create a pair of files. Write the following to `/etc/systemd/network/wireless.network`:

{{{
[Match]
Name=wl*

[Network]
DHCP=yes
RouteMetric=20
IPv6PrivacyExtensions=true
}}}

And write the following to `/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-{INTERFACE}.conf`, where `INTERFACE` is the wireless interface identified earlier:

{{{
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=1
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
}}}

Enable and start the following services: `systemd-networkd`, `wpa_supplicant@{INTERFACE}`, and `systemd-resolved`.

With the `wpa_supplicant` server now running, generate the configuration for your selected !WiFi network. Try running `wpa_passphrase {WIFI_ID} {WIFI_PASSWD} >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-{INTERFACE}.conf`.

Finally, reboot and test your connection.
