+# Enabling Wireless in NixOS Installer
+
+Assuming you have a wireless interface directly supported by the
+installer's kernel (and if not, have you tried the unstable
+installer ISO yet?), you will need some extra commands beyond the
+admittedly brief notes about wpa_supplicant in the installer's
+shell and the man page for wpa_cli itself.
+
+As the brief note does say, you can get started with:
+
+```
+sudo systemctl start wpa_supplicant`
+wpa_cli
+```
+
+Once inside the CLI, you then need the following:
+
+```
+scan
+scan_results
+add_network 0
+set_network 0 ssid "Some SSID"
+set_network 0 psk "some password"
+enable_network 0
+save_config
+quit
+```
+
+`dhcpcd` should run automatically.
