Unable to get wpa_cli working

wpa_supplicant is under Netmanager control, but does not run it as a daemon So there is no pid for it hook in a change / read WiFi configuration settings. Pretty important to me to isolate problems with flaky or abused WiFi environments I did find a system file with a text line for wpa_supplicant that suggests additional parameters can be added, but all I ever succeeded in doing was making the WiFi access completely unusable/unavailable after boot. What is the best /safest way within Fedor…

Fedora does not appear to allow command line interaction from wpa_cli
as a Desktop (client rather than AP)

Sorry if this is OT but i was attracted to Fedora as a distro after reading
about the work done with wpa_supplicant in google searches.

Can any of your team shed any light on this, and offer suggestions?

It would be appreciated.
