Re: stretch orca and wifi connection setup

If networkmanager were installed by default even a command line user 
could then use nmtui and if that worked solve this problem.  There is 
wpa_passphrase that could append to 
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf if that doesn't break the 
configuration file as a back out option.
