Document the wlan tool; Command-Reference named it without showing it Command-Reference had a wlan section that described who owns wireless and never showed a single command. It now carries the five verbs. Adds Wireless-Networking, drawn from wlan(8) and wland(8): - the scan / connect / status workflow with real output - all five commands, and the optional trailing interface argument - networks are remembered on connect, so wland autojoins at next boot - the associated vs connected distinction, which the man page rightly calls the most confusing thing about 802.11: at "associated" the port is not keyed, ipconfigd holds DHCP on purpose, and a stuck "associated" is nearly always a wrong passphrase - the three diagnostics with what each actually means - plaintext passphrases in the known-networks plist, stated plainly - the two real limits: no WPA-Enterprise, and scan under-reports on the first call because it sleeps rather than waiting for scan-complete Linked from Home and the sidebar.
