I can't finish setup at all - Alpine seems to expect you to be connected to Ethernet for installing wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant.
Is this correct?
My issue is: I don't have a monitor where my router is, so it's a chicken and egg problem: can't connect to the internet because wireless-tools don't come with Alpine's default install, and can't install them because I'm not connected to the Internet.

If you are using the alpine extended iso, some packages are on it - you can install them without internet connection just
apk add wireless-tools wpa_supplicant
and it will install. Then follow the wiki page.
