Raspberry Pi Setup Notes

Search engine helps, but I’m so lazy that I don’t like to do the same search repeatedly.

Wireless LAN setup:

Use application “Wifi Configuration” from GUI menu.

Common WIFI dongle problem of falling of network:

Power management feature is enabled in default for device 8192cu.  Having following file resolves the issue:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf
# prevent power down of wireless when idle
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

See https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/217

CAP/CTRL swap:

See http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/5333/how-to-map-caps-lock-key-to-something-useful

Set static address to wifi interface:

Edit /etc/network/interfaces.  If the setup for wlan looks like following,

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

modify as follows:

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet static
address your-address
netmask your-netmask
gateway your-gateway

 Install Inconsolata font:
