Wifi support ?

[mikerr]

Anyone already working on setting SSID/psk in raspi-config ?

[ryanteck]

I assume it would be possible but Raspbian / Operating systems would require either extra packages as default or an wired connection to setup to download all of the major drivers.

A lot of wifi drivers are available as modules: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-3.2.27/arch/arm/configs/bcmrpi_defconfig

I guess once you have a working adaptor it's just a matter of writing out a wpa supplicant config file? http://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf

I would have a look at the wifi tool included with the raspbian desktop; you might get some ideas from there.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Stonie.

Downloading drivers is outside the scope of a config tool IMO

Simple setting of SSID/passwords (often before being in range) is enough

• I have some code that I'll polish up

I know that I got my wireless dongle (Where ever it is sitting around)
working by installing some firmware non free drivers. I assume this could
be the case with many of them.

Sounds good to me. The standard Raspbian build includes all the wifi
firmwares which are packaged for Debian.

@ryanteck Looks like you might have been unlucky... what type of adaptor is it? lsusb?

Either way, I think @mikerr is on the right track. ;)
