I know this one is complete but wanted to refresh since I just tired the
$10 Edimax mini wifi from amazon( http://amzn.com/B003MTTJOY ) and got it
working with Debian wheezy running Machinekit super easy:
*show the Edimax is recognized after plugging it in:*
lsusb | grep Edimax
*See there are some RTL firmware installed:*
ls /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/
*Install the WPA Supplicant package for WPA2 security*
sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant
*Edit/create the WPA Supplicant configuration file for your network:*
sudo vi /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
*ADD THIS:*
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
network={
ssid="myWifiSSID"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="MyWifiPassword"
}
*Enable the automatic start of your wifi network:*
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
*Use these settings:*
# WiFi Example
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa-driver wext
*Load the module, then start the wlan0 interface:*
sudo modprobe rtl8187
sudo ifup wlan0
*Check to see your network is up and has an IP address.*
ifconfig
