[SOLVED] Wi-Fi (Wi-Pi) dongle setup

[cpm]

Hi, there

I have the Wi-Pi dongle form Element 14 (http://cpc.farnell.com/element14/wipi/dongle-wifi-usb-for-raspberry-pi/dp/SC12761). I'm trying to get it working with my install of Xbian 1.0 Alpha 3 but I'm not sure how to. I've entered into xbian-config and tried to enter WLAN settings in DHCP manually, but I end up with this:

Code:

DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15
etc...

Upon saving these settings and restarting, an ifconfig shows this:

Code:

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0f:54:02:27:be  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

So, it is finding the Wi-Pi dongle, but it's not assigning an inet address.

I have also tried to install the drivers for ralink manually (I believe Wi-Pi is a ralink chipset), but they were already installed within Linux.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
