For curiosity I tried to make wifi works on DreamPi. I don't have so many interest on it because in my case i prefer the ethernet, but works ok. In Raspbian is easy to manage a wifi and is no need to install any driver, most of models works, its linux. I proceed a normal way to config it.
*First, you need to acces to the DreamPi via SSH (for linux), JuiceSSH (Android) or Putty (windows).
*Second, download in your phone the app "fing", connect it via wifi to the same network, and serch for the DreamPi IP, that helps to conect to DreamPi.
Ok, google will explains better than me how to connect with the indicated programs to the dreampi, al you need to know is that:
IP: usually 192.168.x.x
user: pi
pass: raspberry
Ok, if you done the things right, you are via console inside the DreamPi. At this scenario, we will begin to configure your connection, and change it from Ethernet to Wifi.
1. type on the console and hit enter:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Ok, we are inside a text editor, delete everithing and put this:
Code: Select all
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
dns-nameserver 127.0.0.1
2. type on the console and hit enter:
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Ok, we are inside a text editor, delete everithing and put this:
Code: Select all
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
#Replace the xxx with the EXACTLY name of your wifi network:
ssid="xxxxxxx"
#Replace the xxx with the EXACTLY name of your wifi keyword, if you security is wep, change the "psk" for "wep":
psk="xxxxxxx"
}
3. OK!!! only left to type on the console:
sudo reboot
That will resets DreamPi and change from Ethernet to Wifi, now ethernet doesnt works.
If you done everything fine, you will see on your Andriod, on the fing app, your DramPi alive on your network again, but now via wifi

4. And last step!
On your Dreamcast, via PlanetWeb or other Browser, ONLY, ONLY change the DNS config:
DNS1 46.101.91.123
DNS2 8.8.8.8
Save, reboot the Dreamcast, try a game and Enjoy!!!
