By default `wpa_supplicant` will read its configuration from /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Wpa_supplicant_gui
To be able to use wpa_gui as user put the following in your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

users.extraUsers.USER.extraGroups = [ "wheel" ];
Switching Network
From the shell terminal, use the `wpa_cli` command line tool and specify the network interface device with -g
wpa_cli -g /run/wpa_supplicant/wlp3s0
list_network
select_network 2

journalctl -u wpa_supplicant -f
