[SOLVED] wifi tools

Hello, friends.

I'm trying to configure the wifi but I don't understand all of this. I use the following command as I read on wiki.

Command: ip link

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp3s0f2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:90:f5:da:fe:08 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 20:68:9d:bc:dd:13 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Then, ip link set wlp2s0 up

and now? I don't know how to get out of here. Can someone indicate me simplicity form the next steps?

Re: [SOLVED] wifi tools

So far you have set the network interface up. The next step is to have it authenticate to an access point (probably with wpa_supplicant, if your access point secures itself with WPA).

This section should explain it in detail:
