+===== WiFi =====
+**NOTE**: the following is based on RasPi 3 model experimentation, you might need to install some specific packages for your hardware.
 In order to enable Wifi and Bluetooth on the new Raspberry Pi 3, one need to install some complementary packages as follow:
 <Code:bash |Install WiFi & Bluetooth packages:>
 > apt-get update
-> apt-get install firmware-brcm80211 pi-bluetooth wpasupplicant
+> apt-get install firmware-brcm80211 pi-bluetooth wpasupplicant wireless-tools
 </Code>
-To configure and use the WiFi network, you still need to modify 2 files:
+To configure and use the WiFi network, you can scan for available SSIDs using:

+Here, we use the ''manual'' setting with ''wpa-roam'', this [[http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/9257/whats-the-difference-between-wpa-roam-and-wpa-conf-in-the-etc-network-inte|stackexchange thread]] seems to imply that this configuration should suspend the WiFi when the Ethernet cable is plugged and vice-versa.
+On the contrary, using ''manual'' with ''wpa-roam'',  (this hasn't been tested by myself).
+Nevertheless, using the above settings had **both WiFi and Ethernet** activated at the same time.
+There is more to learn in this article about [[http://manual.aptosid.com/en/inet-setup-en.htm|Setting up for WiFi Roaming with wpa]].
