Raspberry Pi will Not do Wireless (Yet)

Interesting : in this video, when all he's done is just hook put the dongle in and boot, ifconfig -a shows that wlan0 has some Tx and Rx bytes to boast of.

In my case, both give me 0. Hmmm..

I follow the instructions in this

http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/09/07/how-to-wifi-wireless-internet-on-raspberry-pi-piday-raspberrypi-raspberry_pi/

tutorial, but still, when I do ifconfig -a, I see 0 for Tx and Rx bytes.


But, aha, now, when I do

iwlist wlan0 scan

I see interesting stuff..

Still, no use - if I disconnect the ethernet cable and reboot - no connection on the DHCP client list from the router.

The light on the dongle blinks intermittently - maybe it's an error code?

This post seems fairly helpful :

Scratch all of that. All of them posts are crap, including Missus Engman.
