Google has done it's usual job and returned lots of results but not led me to a solution.
I've just build a Centos 7 "File and Print Server" config, i.e. no screen/keyboard/mouse and no GUI installed.
The LAN connection has worked out of the box and I can SSH into the server without issue.
However, I cannot find out how to configure the WIFI connection which I need in order to provide Air Print services.
I'm using a USB dongle which the kernel has recognised and provides me with a device. I can use that device to scan for available WIFI networks. What I can't do is configure a connection so that the server can connect to the the WIFI network.
Can anyone help with a link to suitable instructions?
Cheers
Gary

After all that, it was simply a case of going into nmtui and adding a WIFI connection.
I had tried that before, but it must have been before I moved the WIFI dongle to a different USB port.
