Raspberry Pi Zero Getting Internet Connection



Command Line (Jessie Lite)

Edimax USB Wifi stick plugged in,

ifconfig


finds wlan0 but no IP address yet

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md


sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

once you have found the Wifi network that you like:

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf



network={
    ssid="The_ESSID_from_earlier"
    psk="Your_wifi_password"
}

Note: in my case, there were a few extra lines already in this file. I had to remove these lines so that the network block is the only item in the file, then it worked.
