-====== Dongly ======
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:wn321g_lrg.jpg?500|}}
-The Chumby hacker board does not have Wireless capability built in, but its very easy to add! The best dongle to use is the [[http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=47&products_id=283|TP-LINK TL-WN321G (or any other RT73-based dongle)]] which has drivers ready to go. Note that many dongles probably won't work - if you have one kicking around you can try it but don't be surprised when it is not recognized!
-If you know of an adapter that does/doesn't work, you should post it here:
-  * Works - RT73 based:
-    * Hawking HWUG1 with external antenna adapter. FCC ID: NDD957318S607
-  * Works with alternate driver:
-    * [[http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.48166|This]] mini-dongle from Deal Extreme works using [[http://junk.kanniets.nl/files/8192cu.ko|the 8192cu.ko]] module.
-    * [[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037G2BMY|This]] generic 802.11 b/g from Amazon works using the same driver as the TP link - the same RT2800 instructions apply.
-    * <yours here>
-  * Doesn't work
-    * <here>
-=== Alternate Driver Installation For 8192.ko ===
-== 8192cu.ko Instructions ==
-Download the module and copy it to your chumby, say /mnt/storage/. Then run the following commands.
-  $ cd /mnt/storage/
-  $ mount -oremount,rw /
-  $ install -p -m 644 8192cu.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28-chumby/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
-  $ depmod -a 2.6.28-chumby
-  $ mount -oremount,ro /
-=== Alternate Driver Installation For RT2800 ===
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:rt2800.gif|}}
-The TP-Links changed from RT73 to RT2800. You can tell which is which because when you plug in the RT2800 a green LED lights up in the casing.
-Download this compressed file {{:chumbyhackerboard:rt2800-update.zip|RT2800 Kernel module update}}. Uncompress it and put it on a USB key. Plug the USB key into the CHB and copy it to /mnt/storage:
-  $ cd /mnt/storage/
-  $ mount -oremount,rw /
-  $ cp /mnt/usb-XXXXX/update-modules.sh .
-  $ ./update-modules.sh
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:updatingrt2800.gif|}}
-Reboot, then follow the rest of the tutorial!
-====== Connecting to your WiFi network ======
-Plug in the dongle
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:plugwlan.gif|}}
-Run **iwlist wlan0 scan** to list all the local networks
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:iwlist.gif|}}
-If you don't get anything, check **dmesg** in case you dont have the driver necessary, this can be a little confusing. See the driver list above.
-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 wlan0** (the image doesnt show the **wlan0** because I had already run dhclient to do this tutorial, make sure to stick the **wlan0** part on!)
-{{: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:iwremount.gif|}}
-If you need to, set up your **resolv.conf** so that you have one or two DNS servers in there
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:resolvconf.gif|}}
-When you're done, be tidy and remount / as read only, k?
-{{:chumbyhackerboard:remountro.gif|}}
-====== "Easy" way ======
-In [[http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?pid=31627#p31627|this]] post by ChumbyLurker you'll find an easy way to configure your wireless, WPA and all.
