Hi eiffel,
I do this all the time as most of my piCorePlayers are headless and
wireless.
On my PC:
1. I use Win32DiskImager to copy piCorePlayer2.06.img to SD card.
2. I have a macro called wifi in my text editor that creates these 4
lines
Code:
--------------------
WIFI="on"
SSID="wirelessSSID"
PASSWORD="1234567879"
ENCRYPTION="WPA"
--------------------
3. Then I do a "saveas" E:\newconfig.cfg where E: is the boot partition
of the SD card.
Works every time, no typos. :D
"setup" is good alternetive if you have a screen and keyboard connected.
(as suggested by paul-)
regards
Greg
