Results for manual attempt:
iwconfig works (shows wlan0)
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory"
(I entered above with iwconfig and get a man page telling me command options that did not work either)
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan "Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down"
Started to script the wpa_supplicant.conf for a direct approach but stopped. If I am this far out in the weeds with some shell experience, the connection process isn't mature enough to run from a USB stick for a distro hopper. /etc/wpa_supplicant is a folder with some *.sh scripts that don't help. Will make a vim attempt soon just to get dirty cause I'm not going to mess anything up.
I seriously suspect ConnMan's tray UI would work easily if the essid:password window would accept a space bar entry.
