I've a RPi whose wire ethernet port is not working. Is there a way for me to get my wifi setup without it? Typically I just plug it into the network, it gets an IP and I go from there.

I do have another RPi I can use to get it setup, but was wondering if it could be done another way.

thanks

You can plug a keyboard into it and use the command line. You can even do it completely blind:
Code: 
(wait 30 seconds after boot, or 2 minutes from a fresh install)
press enter
wifi-client networkname password
reboot
 
thanks that worked beautifully.

One note if anyone reads this later. The reboot happens, but the HM keeps working so don't expect the display to go blank or anything.
