So I got a wi-fi USB adapter. And it STILL doesn't work. Same error, failed to start Raise Network Interfaces. And it is Linux compatible, the Pi recognizes it.

1) Have you re-installed the DreamPi image?
2) Which image was it?
3) Does the USB Wi-fi adapter work with a different computer?
4) Could the problem be bad Raspberry Pi hardware?
5) Can you try another Raspberry Pi?

Hmm... I plugged in the adapter to my PC, and it is recognized as a WLAN adapter too, however it didn't automatically install the drivers. Perhaps I need to install the drivers manually on the Pi?

So a quick update, I bought the dreamcast live usb modem with the lvi in as I thought that was where my problem stemmed from. When I tried to connect I had the same problem, modem only had one light on though dreampi seems to be working fine and i got an ip address as well. Im running it on ethernet so i have no idea whats going on.

Well on my westell 7500 router modem combo I had to set firewall to enable all traffic. I tried to do the same thing with the new modem which is a Zylex and it still couldn't get two lights on the dreampi USB modem

I finally fixed the issue. You were right ncman it was the firewall that was the issue. I have no idea what causes the westell modems to have that problem but i think this could be of use to other users that have dsl. Thank you
