It's blacklisted for bootspeed. I've been meaning to add a switch in the service menu for it but haven't got there yet. Once it's removed from the blacklist it should work like standard Raspbian.

From the FAQ:
How can I use WiFi?

JessieWonka on KLOV posted this for how he got his wifi setup (wifi is blacklisted for boot speed):
Modify:

/etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

and remove or comment out all lines, then reboot.

 This will get the RPi wifi adapter up and running.



How do I get my device to connect to a secure password protected WiFi AP?

There are several ways to add WPA2 support to begin with, but these steps worked for me:

$ wpa_passphrase wifinetworkname password (then copy what it creates)

$ sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (paste in this file, save)


Create blank file called “ssh” in BOOT directory
reboot
