It depends on your needs. |

If you're only going to connect to one or two networks, using |
| 8 |
wpa_supplicant and learning wpa_cli will be managable. The Arch wiki |

has an excellent step-by-step wpa_cli example. |

However, if you're travelling from place to place and hopping networks, |
| 12 |
then you may find that kind of maintenance tedious and opt to use |
| 13 |
wpa_gui instead. It certainly isn't fancy but it is featureful and |
| 14 |
user-friendly. |
