Configuring the built-in Sony PS3 Wi-Fi
1. Update the firmware on your PS3. This can be achieved from GameOS with the Software Update
function in settings. This must be v1.6 or newer.
2. Unplug the ethernet cable, eth0 is both the wired and wireless Ethernet port on PS3s.
3. Launch system-config-network (Network in the Settings menu)
4. Delete the eth0 (gelic_net) interface.
5. Create a Wireless connection.
6. You may now configure that wireless connection as you would with other YDL versions. One
note here that confused me when I did this was that the ESSID specified as "Auto", when I
actually needed to remove that and select the Auto radio button.
7. You can now activate the interface.
8. Enjoy your new wireless enabled PS3!
