Install Wifi Dongle with Picochess

[Carlos Dorcas]

Hi,

Yesterday I tried to install a Wifi Dongle to my Picochess running on a Raspberry Pi B+.

All looked well and it seemed to connect to the Internet but then suddenly Picochess did not want to run anymore.  It kind of freezes.  I am convinced I did something wrong :-)

Forgive me to ask this but I am still kind of new to all this and Linux commands.

Could someone please tell me how to correctly install a Wifi Dongle on version Picochess 0.36 (updated) or advice me a website ?   An answer in BABY STEPS would be nice , as I am new to this but eager to learn.

Thx

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

I will soon get a wifi dongle compatible with Rasperry Pi to connect wirelessly and I will report my experience.

Bye

If the wifi dongle is compatible with Raspberry Pi (most are), you should simply connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse, then find the wifi configuration app in the menus.

Carlos this link is very useful and self-explaining for installation.

To all it may concern I ve just got an Edimax wifi dongle and followed exactly the procedure I have reported in my previous msg, only added the lines

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

in the file 8192cu to avoid the dongle going into sleeping mode and disconnect.

Eveything works perfectly and of course you may also activate the UI GUI wirelessly.
Enjoy
