I want to do this manually, before automating it; "ifconfig -a" shows
eth0, and lo, and...
wlan0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:26:c6:4a:b4:92 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Next steps are to start wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli
===================================================================
[thimk][root][~] /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start
* Starting WPA Supplicant Daemon ...
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant [ ok ]
[thimk][root][~] wpa_cli
wpa_cli v2.9

Could not connect to wpa_supplicant: (nil) - re-trying
===================================================================
Even specifying "wpa_cli -i wlan0" fails. The config files...
# /etc/conf.d/net
=================
config_eth0="dhcp"
modules="wpa_supplicant"
config_wlan0="dhcp"
# /etc/wpa_supplicant
=====================
# The below line not be changed otherwise wpa_supplicant refuses to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0
# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1
