This post contains my notes - what I did to make it work properly, so next time I build the system, I have a step by step guide. In case you lived under the rock for the last months and don't know what Raspberry Pi is, you should visit www.raspberrypi.org now.
I bought Edimax EW-7811Un adapter for my Pi - small factor, b/g/n type, so why not... especially when vendor says it provides Linux drivers (wohoo!). Sadly as it turns out, compiling drivers on x86 or x64 and ARM architectures can be totally different experience - especially with Raspberry Pi being in it's software infancy. In all seriousness - Pi is for those that like to solve problems (at least at the current stage), but the community works hard to catch up very quickly - great stuff!
