+# WPA Supplicant
+
+`wpa_supplicant` is a free implementation of an IEEE 802.11i supplicant.
+It is especially interesting due to its WPA2 and WPA3 capabilities in contrast
+to other networking software.
+
+## Connect to a WPA2 secured WLAN
+
+This part assumes that your network interface is called `wlan0`
+(change it accordingly).
+
+- First make sure that your [network interface is up](./ip.md).
+- Save the authentication details to a file by running
+  `wpa_passphrase <SSID> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`
+- Connect to the WLAN by running
+  `wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`
+  (`-B` is optional for running the process in the background)
