Create WiFi documentation

[jospoortvliet]

Some users (have to) run the Pi with a USB WiFi stick. Obviously they can't auto-connect so ideally we create a guide on how to connect to the Pi via a laptop the first time and create the WiFi connection.

More than a guide, we will probably need to think about providing some UI for it at some point.

For now, a basic guide:

• connect your laptop to your wifi
• connect your pi to your laptop ethernet port
• boot up the pi, configure in the laptop to "share internet" or whatever it is called on your platform. Some tutorials: this, this and this for Windows.
  • Linux:
  • go to Network Manager
  • go to connection editor
  • click Add,
  • choose Wired Ethernet (Shared),
  • pick a name and done.
  • Plug everything in and then start this 'network' from NetworkManager.
• log into the pi - SSH needed
  • see Pi Documentation
• configure the wifi
  • see Pi Documentation
