This was a situation where i needed to test a new raspberry image on my raspberry pi-A, and i could not find my usb hub.
\nSo i needed to do a offline wifi configuration to boot the device with a wifi dongle, and configure the device from ssh.<\/p>\n

\nEdit the file \/etc\/wpa_supplicant\/wpa_supplicant.conf
\nand you will read :<\/p>\n
\nupdate_config=1<\/p>\nctrl_interface=DIR=\/var\/run\/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev\r\nupdate_config=1\r\nnetwork={\r\n ssid=\"changethis\"\r\n psk=\"changethis_also\"\r\n key_mgmt=WPA-PSK\r\n}<\/pre>\n
\nNow insert the edit memory card to the raspisystem, and boot.
\nIf you have a dhcp server on your system, your device will be connected to your network, and you can continue to connect to your raspberry with putty.
\nThe username is pi, the password raspberry
\np.s. you can use fing<\/a> (on your mobile phone)to find the ip address of the raspberry, if you can’t read your dhcp leases.<\/p>\n
