Fisrt boot of Raspberry Pi
First, created the file image file using
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images/raspbian/2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian/2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.zip
After unzip the file, insert a SD card. I used 2GB media, though 4GB+ is recommended, for challenge. It is easy to write the boot image file to SD media. After confirming the device name by df command,
sudo dd bs=1m if=./2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/rdisk2
<Test With USB Keyboard>
Now insert the SD card to the RaspberryPi,
Insert the keyboard to the USB
Connect HDTV to RPi
Connect PowerUSB
Now I can see the boot screen. Change the account password etc. However, xinit/startx doesn't work as we don't have network connection. Only one single USB port is occupied by the keyboard.
<Edit Wifi Password file>
It needs to be authenticated with password to connect the network. Need this file to be edit,
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="SSID"
psk="password"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
}
(SSID and password need to be modified)
<Change the keyboard with wifi dongle TP-Link TLWN725N>
Although boot process finished, no IP address assigned. No connection SSH from the network.
Now I know that there would need the driver for TP-Link TL-WN725N version 2. It is not compatible with the Raspbian 2013-05-25 at least.
There is a driver module downloadable from the site below.

However, there is no internet connection from my raspberry Pi model A without wifi connection. How can I place this file to the file system.
Still there is a solution... (To be continued)
