  • First, you must create the correct configuration using wpa_passphrase (do not confused wpa_passphrase and wpa_supplicant):
$ wpa_passphrase "wifi-name" "password" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • Then, find your device name (like wlan0), by executing
$ ip link
  • Start wpa-supplicant, but change wlan0 to your device name
# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • Finally, link service to runit by
# ln -s /etc/sv/wpa_supplicant /var/service

To test your connection, you can try

$ ping wikipedia.org

When you reboot your machine, the connection configuration will be lost. You would have to run wpa-supplicant again. Alternatively, you can add the following line to your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc (for zsh add to ~/.zprofile or ~/.zshrc; for ~/.xnitrc, add with & at the end):

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

To connect to WPA/WPA2, you need to install the wpa_supplicant or iwd.

Here is how to connect to wifi from cli (Answers on U&L):

To use nmcli or nmtui, you need to install the NetworkManager package.

Like if you want to use network manager and just chroot into ur void after installation and install network manager and when you log in you can use nmtui. I personally use connman and iwd
