I somehow made my LFS boot and run. Now, I'd like to connect it to the

cannot configure it with static IP addresses. (At least, that's what I
think).
My first problem is that I believe the kernel does not recognize the
wifi. ifconfig only reports "lo" and "sit0". These two, I also find
under /sys/class/net.
So, I am not sure if I have to recompile the Kernel with some
additional settings or if I have to use a clever insmod or anything else.
I belive that I have to solve this first before I go try to configure
dhcpcd and/or(?) wpa_supplicant.
I am also not sure about the role of Wireless tools: are these
necessary to run wireless or are they just some optional helpers that
make some tasks easier?

I would check your kernel is built with the correct drivers (m) modules
and that you have the correct firmware in /lib/firmware, When wifi is
recognised, be it maybe called something else other than wlan0, you will
need wpa_supplicant next so it can connect to router. That will be
enough to get you started on network
