Tonight I decided to futz around with my Raspberry Pi. I’d gotten a wifi dongle to use with it but hadn’t bothered setting everything up yet.
But I soon found myself with a problem. The only way I could get the drivers for the dongle into the Pi would be to do it by connecting it to the net via a cable… and my home is completely wireless. There’s an Ethernet cable going from the modem to the Airport, sure, but plugging that into the Pi didn’t work. And even if it had half the XBMC-oriented distros expect you to configure them by sshing in from a computer on the same network, which wouldn’t work in that situation.
I guess me, my computer, and my Pi are going to need to visit a friend who actually still has wired internet. I’ll get the Nyan Media Center working someday!
