Got it.

So this problem has been solved. And I didn't even have to buy a wired keyboard.

What else can we do on this side of the RaspBerry Pi that can help with the scans?

You can edit the file with pico or vi.

pico /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

OK, I was able to log into the pi using putty, and I'm in the WPA_Supplicant directory.

What do I use to edit the file with?

I guess I'm showing my lack of knowledge here, but where can I find these directories?

When I put the MicroSD card in a reader and plug it into my PC, all I see is a boot partition that is about 56MB, and in it there are 21 files and 1 folder called Overlays.

Does this mean that the rest of the MicroSD has a hidden partition that's only accessible from withing the Pi OS?

If this is the case, that means I have to connect a monitor, mouse and keyboard. Does the Pi support wireless keyboard & mice? I no longer have any wired keyboards around the house.

Pirvan, you should only need to edit the SSID and password in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf It should look something like the following.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="ENTER_SSID_HERE"
        psk="ENTER_PASSWORD_HERE"
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP WEP104 WEP40
        auth_alg=OPEN
}

Note: The double quotes are necessary and it won't work without them.

It looks pretty simple, just open up the network configuration file, edit it and reboot.

But there's a problem It appears the instructions assume a standard Rasbian installation.

For example the network file is supposed to be found in /etc/network/interfaces. On the Atlas 3d boot flash there's only an Overlays folder

SO the standard Rasberry Pi instructions won't help here.

it appears that others have had similar problems, unrelated to Atlas, which makes sense, as the wireless portion would be an independent process. I found this link, but did not test it:

I finished assembling my Atlas 3D last night, and gave it a try.

Since my WiFi is encrypted, I had to connect via Ethernet, and that works OK. However I was hoping to find some place in the settings where I could configure my Wireless network settings (access point, WPA, etc)

How does one do this?

BTW, I'm Rasberry Pi noob, however I can follow instructions, as long as they don't require me to install complete SDKs and such.

@ Hairu526.
Is there a place in the settings that this is hidden? Did I miss something? if not, perhaps you could add these WLAN settings in the setup/settings page.

Thanks
