Raspberry Pi WiFi

I have jumped on the raspberry pi bandwagon.  So far I have not done anything else that thousands of other geeks haven't done.  I did want to post what I had to do to get my wireless working.  I am using a usb wifi adapter with a Realtek RTL8188 chip.  The adapter was recognized, but for some reason wlan0 did not show up in the wireless configuration ui tool.  I had to add this to /etc/network/interfaces:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "mynetwork"
wpa-psk "mypassword"

Of course you would need to replace mynetwork and mypassword with whatever is appropriate for your network, but put them in double quotes.

Next I need to figure out how to make it output video to HDMI.
