ala if media player then no need heatsink la. stock standard pon ok. overclock a bit is better. but certainly no need heatsink.

speaking of RPi, the new one that I've just received is slightly different than the first two ones. I'll take a picture tomorrow.
*
the new ones (model b 512MB) has 2 mounting holes. my board from element14 has a very noticeable "made in china" sticker. and i tot it was all from sony uk.

I don't think it's their fault. they're just the distributor, and it's not an industry norm to actually notify you/us where are the components and revisions of the board are made from.

hmm uk manufacturing done by Sony contract manu. right?

I did notice some leads on my UK/512mb board had it too long. So I trim it out of fear that they can bend and short out.

I believe so. But the main chip is made by Samsung unsure.gif

and what leads are you talking about?



and if you guys have any beginner's info on RPi, ANYTHING AT ALL, please contribute to my thread here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2597262 thumbup.gif

bottom of the board. Some thru the hole component's lead sticking out, did not get trimmed short enough. Not exceedingly long, just long enough.

For those that want to plug in Wifi Adapter to the RPi, here is my instructions / setting for ASUS USB-N10 Wifi Adapter..

It is a small Wireless-N adapter...

*** I'm running Rasbian Oct released.... so most of the drivers are included ....

Step 1. Check dmesg for h/w detection :-

CODE

$ dmesg

[  388.020831] usb 1-1.3.1: Product: ASUS EZ N Network Adapter
[  388.020844] usb 1-1.3.1: Manufacturer: Manufacturer Realtek
[  388.020857] usb 1-1.3.1: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001
[  388.029637] r8712u: DriverVersion: v7_0.20100831
[  388.029735] r8712u: register rtl8712_netdev_ops to netdev_ops
[  388.029755] r8712u: USB_SPEED_HIGH with 4 endpoints
[  388.030860] r8712u: Boot from EFUSE: Autoload OK
[  388.769196] r8712u: CustomerID = 0x0010
[  388.769225] r8712u: MAC Address from efuse = 30:85:a9:6e:1d:7e
[  388.769241] r8712u: Loading firmware from "rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin"
[  389.738094] r8712u: 1 RCR=0x153f00e
[  389.738943] r8712u: 2 RCR=0x553f00e



Step 2. Check for loadable modules

CODE

$ lsmod

r8712u                165407  0



Step 3. Check to make sure USB is detected

CODE

$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0b05:1786 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB-N10 802.11n Network Adapter [Realtek RTL8188SU]



Step 4. Generate WPA PSK from command line :- ( I assume your Wifi security is WPA/WPA2 )

passphrase is the password for your Wifi WPA settings

CODE

$wpa_passphrase <SSID> <passphrase>

Copy and paste the long strings into below :-

Edit the below file with your favourite editor, mine is vi

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
# Wifi settings with WPA PSK
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
       wireless-mode managed
       wireless-essid <SSID>
       wpa-ssid <SSID>
# strings from wpa_passphrase
       wpa-psk <pass phrase strings output from above steps>
iface default inet dhcp



Step 5. Check ifconfig for wlan0 interface

CODE

$ ifconfig

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 30:85:a9:6e:1d:7e
         inet addr:192.168.1.101  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
         RX packets:464 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
         TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
         RX bytes:47289 (46.1 KiB)  TX bytes:1590 (1.5 KiB)



6. Check iwconfig for wireless settings

CODE

$ iwconfig

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"XXXXX"  Nickname:"rtl_wifi"
         Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: BC:AE:C5:E7:D9:86
         Bit Rate:150 Mb/s   Sensitivity:0/0
         Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
         Power Management:off
         Link Quality=100/100  Signal level=100/100  Noise level=0/100
         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
         Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0



7. Restart the wlan0 interface
CODE

$ sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0



8. Check status on your Wireless router to make sure RPi wifi is associated to the wireless with WPA turned on

Make sure your DHCP Server on your Wireless router is turned on...
