   The scheme didn't work for me. My guess is because part of the   
   configuration instructions didn't have the right entry for the wifi   
   driver, but I didn't figure that out until later.   
      
   The proper driver is mmc_bcm2835, but the instructions I followed said;   
      
   driver=nl80211   
      
   If I ever choose to go back to test if the other driver would work, I   
   still have that SD; it was an earlier Raspbian, so I just replaced the   
   SD w/ a newer.
