Lots of people like graphical utilities for managing their computers, but plenty don't too. If you prefer command line utilities, managing WiFi can be a real pain. Well, it doesn't have to be.
wpa_supplicant can be used as a command line utility. You can actually set it up easily with a simple configuration file.
