First, let me say thanks to Steen for putting this together. It's small
and beautiful. However, like many others here, I had problems getting
the wifi adapter to work. It worked out-of-the-box on the Raspbian
release, but although I could get it to be seen on Picoreplayer, I got
the same error messages as others, saying it wouldn't scan... I had
previously replaced the Pi's power supply to sort out other problems,
and in desperation, tried a vastly oversized power supply (3A) via a USB
hub. Lo and behold, the Ralink wifi adapter sprang into life. I had
previously incorporated the new firmware code, so I don't know whether
it would work without that. Once again, power supply inadequacy struck!
providing symptoms that look like something completely different. Advice
to self.......always switch the power supply as first diagnostic
measure. Hope this potentially helps others. 
The adapter I bought is item 310574944823 on eBay, though the price of
£69.99 at which it's now advertised looks like an error to me.
