This weekend I set up my Raspberry Pi to connect to my home wireless network using an Asus USB-N13. The process was quite painless:
- Install debian wheezy on a SD card, boot the Raspberry Pi off it.
- Plug in a wired network connection.
- As root (run "sudo -s") run "apt-get update".
- As root, run "apt-get upgrade".
- Plug in the Asus USB-N13.
- Do a "lsusb" and make sure you see an entry for the wireless adaptor (the Bus and Device values may change):
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0b05:17ab ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB-N13 802.11n Network Adapter (rev. B1) [Realtek RTL8192CU]
- As root, run "apt-get install firmware-realtek" to make sure we have the Realtek firmware binaries installed.
- As root, run "apt-get install wicd" to install Wicd: a network connection manager.
- Start up the GUI (run "startx" from console if you booted into console).
- Start "wicd-gtk".
- Use the UI to configure your wireless adaptor.
- Disconnect the wired ethernet and reboot your Raspberry Pi.
- A few minutes after booting, Wicd should do its magic and the Raspberry Pi will appear on your network.
