   what's the new way to set-up networking

        Previous versions of Raspberry Pi OS made use of a wpa_supplicant.conf   
        file which could be placed into the boot folder to configure wireless   
        network settings. This is no longer possible from Raspberry Pi OS   
        Bookworm onwards.   
      
   I have a headless pi I want to pre-configure to have wireless   
   networking. I can't ssh in until the wifi works. I can shut it down,   
   pull the SD card, mount it somewhere else and place files in /etc/.   
      
   What file in what directory for wifi? I'm using the   
   2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-armhf-lite image. The device has a screen   
   and keyboard, but the image lacks the drivers for the screen and I need   
   to apt-get install them. Which is tricky when I can't ssh in or trying   
   to type blindly the needed commands to add a repo with the video   
   drivers.   
      
   The pre-configured OS for this device is buildroot which has no   
   compiler or build tools which is going to block me intalling the Perl   
   modules I need. buildroot.org helpfuly says (paraphrased) "if you want   
   a compiler, you want a different distro."
