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."

Use the RPi Imager to burn your uSD card and set the WiFi there.

don't get that top-posting is evil.
I didn't use the imager because the imager wants a newer glibc than I
have installed on the system I'm using. Downloading an image and copying
it an SD card is trivial for someone well-acquainted with Unix tools, so
I didn't worry much. But I realize the imager does a bit more than
papering over the copy process. Unfortunately all of the networking
guides I can find for this system assume you are configuring it from a
running system, not in advance on the disk image. "What file, where" is
probably all the help I need. I don't want to trace the start-up process
by reading through /etc/ to figure it out from source if I don't have to.

If you’re really using the RPi OS then: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Looks like it's NetworkManager that manages networking now, in the

"Raspberry Pi OS". So the config file is
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and the setup, well, I guess
I'll leave that as an exercise? See the man page.
I should have an example NetworkManager.conf on my Linux laptop which I
can share later.

You got what you asked for. Quit complaining because you left out some

flatpak, but just in case....
