Connecting to Wi-Fi from command line on a stripped Debian system
I have a GUI-less Debian-based Linux system, and I can't find a way to connect to a Wi-Fi network. All the solutions I could find involve iwconfig or nmcli tools, but these are not present on my system. What are my options?
ifconfig does detect the wlan0 interface.
