Your mileage may vary (the Raspberry Pi has come a long way since then and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2012\/07\/getting-started-with-raspberry-pi-raspi-take-2.htm\">I was running Debian Squeeze rather than Raspbian<\/a>) but if you&#8217;re having difficulties getting RasPi Wi-Fi to work, hopefully some of this will help.<\/p>\n<p>The Wi-Fi adapter that I used was an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimax.co.uk\/en\/produce_detail.php?pd_id=328&amp;pl1_id=1&amp;pl2_id=44\">Edimax EW-7811Un nano USB adapter<\/a>\u00a0which I seem to recall I originally purchased from Maplin before returning it when I realised it was much less expensive online. \u00a0There are some good notes on <a href=\"http:\/\/elinux.org\/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters\">the Raspberry Pi verified peripherals list<\/a>\u00a0that may help (much better than when I was working on this in 2012).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctrl-alt-del.cc\/2012\/05\/raspberry-pi-meets-edimax-ew-7811un.html\">Tomasz Miklas&#8217; post provided a ton of information on configuring the operating system to work with the adapter<\/a>, as did <a href=\"http:\/\/elinux.org\/images\/4\/4b\/Raspberry_Pi_wireless_adapter.pdf\">this guide on elinux.org<\/a>. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lumux.co.uk\/2012\/06\/07\/realtek-rtl8192curtl8192c-wifi-on-raspberrypi\/\">If you have trouble with the Realtek drivers, there&#8217;s a post that may help<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; you might want to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/phpBB3\/viewtopic.php?f=31&amp;t=7471\">read it in conjunction with these notes on the Raspberry Pi forums<\/a>. \u00a0I also found that I had to use the\u00a0<code>sudo bash scriptname.sh<\/code> command, rather than just <code>sudo scriptname.sh<\/code>.
