Setup USB Wifi Dongle
I've just installed XBian from the image file and I'm very happy that its all working nicely on my raspberry pi, but I need to get it working on wifi now, instead of ethernet. I have an edimax wifi dongle, but I don't have the first idea of where to start with setting this up and somehow I can't seem to find the info with a Google search. Can anybody help?

RE: Setup USB Wifi Dongle
Connect to your RPi through SSH:

It should work for the wireless dongles as well.

I've entered the SSID and password now and thats about all there was and it still shows no signs of working. I suspect it's missing the drivers etc. Any idea how to do that part? I'm not even sure if my wifi dongle is compatible, its an Edimax N20379 When entering the SSID I got a load of errors such as interface wlan0 not configured Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; function not implemented |

Setup USB Wifi Dongle
That Edimax dongle works amazing on the raspberry pi (probably the best one available
 )
