 Here is a known working configuration for the [http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=3&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44 '''Edimax EW-7318Ug'''] adapter, and probably others. These lines are added to your '''inittab''' file. You might be able to use this configuration for other adapters also. The WiFi module for your adapter might use names other than wlan0 for the interface, so be sure to make that substitution if necessary in all of the following lines.
