A little while ago I got myself a Raspberry Pi to tinker around. I didn’t know anything about Linux / Debian / Wheezy but I was inspired by the many different kind of applications of the Raspberry Pi that I read about on the internet.
In the meantime I’ve managed to turn the Raspberry into an Airpi. It took me some time to figure everything out, but I finally got there.
Every time I want to change/add some functionality I find myself spending lots of time Google-ing for the right solution. The solutions that work I’ll share on this blog so you can save some time achieving the same.
Today I figured out how to setup and enable the USB wlan connection on the Raspberry Pi and make it connect to my wireless network.
update, I’ve also posted an alternative solution: How to setup a USB wlan connection on a Raspberry Pi – alternative method
I got two usb wlan adapters which I both tested and seemed to work with this method:
Edimax WLAN Hi-Speed USB 2.0 EW-7811Un Nano
WLAN 11n USB Micro Stick US300EX Lite
First you need to configure the network adapter interface

Then you need to set the wlan parameters
Then you need to reboot
