 +====== Moved! ======
  
-====== Dongly ====== +This tutorial has moved to [[http://learn.adafruit.com/​chumby-hacker-board/wifi|http://learn.adafruit.com/​chumby-hacker-board/wifi]]
- +

-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. +
-    * <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. +
