Can the Pi with enonbase work with a wifi dongle?

Pretty much as the title says really?

I need to place the pi somewhere that i dont have LAN in order to pick both my emontx's and I dont want to go to the expense of dlan. Can it be done?

Could you share how to make it work?

You are probably best off reading one of the many guides out there like this one:

http://www.raspberryshake.com/raspberry-pi-wireless-network-setup/

Or just try a google search for "raspberry pi wifi" or similar.

The Edimax dongle that I have is supported out of the box, so I had no setup problems with the driver etc, and as I am using it in ad-hoc mode, I didn't need to set any encryption keys.

what do you do if your have Raspberry Model A (without ethernet)? update mode is not available and you have the last SD ready-to-use with "not using locking for read only lock file"??

I am quite noob, sorry if it is very easy.

Thanks

Do you have a htmi monitor and keyboard and mouse connected to your pi? and can you load up a linux terminal on your pi?

what do you get when you type $ lsusb? as in the guide PhilThy linked?

Guys, with the new software there isn`t any problem: You must install Raspbian in a usb image from here

I recommend you install hdd image in a 4gb usb or higher in order to store all data received.

I think this problem could be "solved" now.
