-**NOT FOR GENERAL CONSUMPTION!!!** STILL IN PROGRESS!!!!
-====== Dongly ======
-The Chumby hacker board does not have Wireless capability built in, but its very easy to add! The best dongle to use is the TP-LINK TL-WN321G which has drivers ready to go.
-====== Connecting to your WiFi network ======
-Plug in the dongle
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:plugwlan.gif|}}
-Run **iwconfig wlan0 scan** to list all the local networks
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:iwlist.gif|}}
-Find your network, we'll connect to **adafruit** (not listed here, just substitute your own connection name)
-Configure the wlan adapter (we'll be using WEP here, WPA is more complex)
-  * Set the WiFi password with **iwconfig wlan0 enc XXXXXXXXXX** where XXXXXXXXXX is your 10 digit hexadecimal WEP password (ps. our password isnt really DEADBEEF00)
-  * Set the channel to match the one in the **iwlist** output with **iwconfig wlan0 channel NN**
-  * Set the network you want to connect to with **iwconfig wlan0 essid adafruit** where **adafruit** is substituted with your network name
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:iwconfig.gif|}}
-You should get a **[ 1932.400000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready** response from the kernel
-====== Start DHCP ======
-DHCP will let you get your IP, route and DNS right from the router
-You'll need to remount root so that dhclient can edit it
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:iwremount.gif|}}
-Start up the **wlan0** connection
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:ifconfigup.gif|}}
-Then run **dhclient**
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:dhclient.gif|}}
-You should be able to ping!
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:pinggooglewlan0.gif|}}
-====== Set up IP & DNS ======
-Say you don't have DHCP or don't want to use DHCP for some reason.
-Pick an IP address, and **ifconfig wlan0 <ipaddress> up** to give yourself an IP address
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:ifconfignodhcp.gif|}}
-Don't forget to add a default route, through your router
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:addroute.gif|}}
-If you want DNS you'll have to remount the root directory **rw** and edit **/etc/resolv.conf**

-{{:chumbyhackerboard:resolvconf.gif|}}
