11	It comes with CLI tools but it's usually used with a frontend GUI. See

14	For KDE I use kde-misc/plasma-nm. If you don't have a desktop it propably
15	makes more sense to just use wpa_supplicant directly.

17	If you use systemd net-misc/netctl has a nice curses UI but I've only tried on
18	Arch.
