Setup Wifi
This section describes how to setup the wifi on your raspberry pi zero w without the need for a keyboard or monitor attached to the device.
- Download the wpa_supplican.conf example file here
- Rename wpa_supplicant.conf.example to wpa_supplicant.conf
- Setup your wifi name and password (note: you will be using "eduroam")
- Change your GMU password, this will ensure it will not expire during the course of the class
- Modify "identity" to match your GMU email address
- Modify "password" to match your GMU email password
- Insert the SD card into your computer
- Go to the SD card drive named "boot"
- Place the wpa_supplicant.conf created above inside of "boot". This will automatically copy wpa_supplicant.conf to its required place (i.e. /etc/wpa_supplicant/)
Setup Hostname
- Mount the 2nd partition (type ext4)
- Linux: native support
- Windows: use Ext2Fsd

$ brew cask install osxfuse $ brew install ext4fuse $ ext4fuse /dev/diskNsM $HOME/tmp/my-linux-mount -o allow_other
