I started with the devuan raspi3 image under devuan_jessie/embedded
on http://files.devuan.org.  The machine is a raspbrry pi 3B.

Turns out I dont know where to go from here.  Yes, use apt-get to 
install what I want.  But apt-get needs a network connection.

As a temporary measure I can use a wired connection, but my ethernet 
switches have disappeared during the move to my new apartment, and as a 
result I have to shut off wifi whenever I do this.   The rest of the 
family complains.

So what tools are there in the minimal installed raspberry pi devuan 
jessie to activate wifi?

Even with lxde installed, its network manager tool doesn't seem to be 
able to find wifi -- presumably some infrastructure is missing.

man -k wifi didn't help.  Presumably there's no relevant package 
installed.  If it were it would probably be working and I wouldn't be 
looking for it.
