Using wicd-curses<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I know of no better way than getting WiFi to connect automatically than using the wonderful wicd-curses package. So, here’s how to do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plug your wifi dongle in. I cannot impress on you enough how important this is \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n
  2. If you’ve not done it already, login as root and install wicd-curses:\n
      \n
    1. apt-get install wicd-curses<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Run it. Just type\n
        \n
      1. wicd-curses<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. You’re given the wicd interface. You probably haven’t got anything showing yet, so do Shift-R to refresh the network scan.<\/li>\n
      3. Use the arrow keys to highlight your router and press –><\/li>\n
      4. Go down and hit space when you reach the Automatic connection checkbox.<\/li>\n
      5. Then, go down to the password field and put your wifi router password in.<\/li>\n
      6. Hit F10 to save the settings and you’ll go back to the first screen.<\/li>\n
      7. Highlight your router if it’s not already and hit shift-C to connect.<\/li>\n
      8. Hopefully, this will connect you. If not, check your password!<\/li>\n
      9. Do shift-Q to come out of wicd.<\/li>\n
      10. Type ifconfig -a and you should see your wlan0 connected to your router and your ip address displayed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        The beauty of doing it like this rather than via the command line is that wicd runs as a daemon when your Pi starts up and will automatically connect to the network without you doing anything else.<\/div>\n
        NB: You may have to wait a minute or so for it to connect.<\/strong><\/div>\n
