You are installing Debian 4.0 "etch"

Changes to manual: 
------------------

- Manual states to unzip with tar zxf, but it did not work. The file was unzipped with the parameter xvf.

To connect to WIFI (unencrypted or WEP): 
----------------------------------------
  $ modprobe usb8xxx
  $ iwconfig eth0 essid "<SSID>" key "s:<PASSWORD>"

Replace <SSID> and <PASSWORD> with respective values

To connect to WIFI (WPA or WPA2): 
---------------------------------
- Copy to root of a FAT32 formatted USB stick:

  1. wpasupplicant_05.5.5-2_i386.deb 
  2. libdbus-1-3_1.0.2-1+etch3_i386.deb

- Connect USB stick to OLPC and mount it:

  $ mkdir /media/usb
  $ mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/usb

- Install packages:

  $ cd /media/usb/
  $ dpkg --install wpasupplicant_05.5.5-2_i386.deb 
  $ dpkg --install libdbus-1-3_1.0.2-1+etch3_i386.deb

- Create wpa_supplicant.conf:

  $ wpa_passphrase "<SSID>" "<PASSWORD>" | tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

  Replace <SSID> and <PASSWORD> with respective values

- Add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces:

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

- Connect to WIFI:

  $ modprobe usb8xxx
  $ wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i eth0
  $ dhclient eth0

- Test by pinging 8.8.8.8 and www.google.com

- If previous test worked, automate WIFI connection on startup:

  Create /root/wifion.sh:

    #!/bin/bash
    #
    wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i eth0
    dhclient eth0
  
  Make executable:

  $ chmod 770 wifion.sh

  Create symbolic link to wifion.sh:

  $ ln -s /root/wifion.sh /etc/rc2.d/S99wifion

Restore apt-get functionality for "etch":
-----------------------------------------

- Open /etc/apt/sources.list and replace the first line with the following:

  deb http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian etch main

- Run the following commands:

  $ aptitude install debian-archive-keyring
  $ apt-get update
