Thanks to everybody for the replies.  None of these worked,
however. The weird thing was that when I tried the nmcli or tried to
turn on NetworkManager, it dropped me back to the login prompt.


 I eventually gave up and reinstalled.

You could use the "iw" commands:

man iw

which should give you the info you need.
"NAME
   iw - show / manipulate wireless devices and their configuration"

if you would like to review a tutorial:

http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-connect-to-wpawpa2-wifi-network.html

has a decent write up if a bit dated.  Should get you pointed in the right
direction but everything still looks good on quick review.

HIH,

I think starting NetworkManager should take care of that:
# systemctl start NetworkManager

I can't give you a tutorial since I've not had to boot into rescue mode.  I'm
assuming in rescue mode you are not in a GUI interface.

Well, in that case I'd probably use "nmcli".Network Manager Command Line 
Interface.

Personally, I 'd have to resort to checking out the man page since that is 
something
I rarely use.  But it should get you to where you need to be.

How to turn on networking from rescue boot

[vendor]

So...  I did a "sudo dnf upgrade" and things seemed to do well.  
However, when I rebooted, it hangs on bootup with the statment "Holding 
until bootup processes complete" or something like that -- I'm doing 
this from memory.  I tried with a couple of older kernels, but they also 
hung.


I assume that this is some transient thing associated with the upgrade.  
Over the years, I've had glitches appear on an upgrade and disappear on 
the next upgrade.  Accordingly, I'd like to boot into rescue mode and 
see if I can upgrade again.


However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode.

Can anybody point me to a tutorial?

Thanks,

billo
