Raspberry Pi Wireless Example Settings

rpi example wireless

Setting up the wireless on your raspbian pi is tricky over the commandline. Here's some example settings that should get you online with a typical wpa wireless G network.

```/etc/network/interfaces```

```
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
```

```/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf```

```
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="SomeAP"
        psk="Some Password"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        auth_alg=OPEN
}
```

If you want to see what access points are available and what the encryption type is, you can run:
```
iwlist scan
```
