1. How do I get this working? I am happy to work with command line tools.

2. Are there other packages I need? I installed wireless-tools, and

tried to fiddle with iwconfig and NetworkManager to no avail. iwconfig does seem to interact with the wifi device.

3. Is there documentation I should be following to

understand/troubleshoot networking support? https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless does not document the iwlwifi driver.

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi

suggests you might need to get a firmware tarball for that card, and copy the appropriate iwlwifi-*.ucode file to /lib/firmware or something.
