raspberrypi_wifi_headless_config.md

To configure the wireless connection of a newly installed Pi or an old one with an obsolete wireless config, just create a file wpa_supplicant.conf file on the /boot/ fat32 partition with this content:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
country=GB
update_config=1

network={
 ssid="<Name of your wireless LAN>"
 psk="<Password for your wireless LAN>"
}

Start it and wait.
