Raspberry Pi Model B, Home Wi Fi config on AirPort (Time Capsule)

So I have an all-Apple household.  My wi-fi router is an old Time Capsule.

To get wi-fi working on my box, I simply edit: /etc/network/interfaces and put this code in

1. auto lo
2. iface lo inet loopback
3. iface eth0 inet dhcp
4. allow-hotplug wlan0
5. auto wlan0
6. 
   
7. iface wlan0 inet dhcp
8. wpa-ssid "myssid"
9. wpa-psk "mywpapassword"

Pretty simple. Works like a charm on my network.

Creating Raspbian Wheezy Bootable SD Card on OS-X Mavericks

Creating Raspbian Wheezy bootable SD card on a Mac

1. Get the newest image: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
2. Open terminal on your mac
3. sudo diskutil list
4. Find the disk you’re after (/dev/disk5 for example).  It probably is the only small disk/partition mounted:
   
5. use mount command to see what’s mounted from this disk (/dev/disk5s1 for example):  
   
6. sudo diskutil umount /dev/disk5s1  [unmounts the volume]
7. mount command should not show the disk anymore
   
8. Now you can burn the image (make sure you unzipped it) to the disk
9. sudo dd bs=1m if=~/Downloads/2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk3
10. To check status midstream, you can do killall -INFO dd
    
11. Terminal with the dd operation in it will stop when it's done.
12. Disk will re-mount. So you have to do step 3-7 again to unmount the disk.
13. Then you can put it in the Pi and boot up!
