would it be of interest to have an SSD image that:
after initial start and no ethernet available, the RPI would start as a Wifi router with SID =piBeaconWIFI, passwd 12345 and would launch a very simple web server where you could enter ONLY your home wifi sid/pwd. --On your laptop connect to wifi piBeaconWiFi and http to 192.1.1.1
After entering, it would reboot with your home SID/pwd wifi as a regular wifi client.
That would bypass the need to attach a terminal go to the full rpi interface and setup wifi there.
Just an idea, anyone interested

setup of wifi only rpi
Re: setup of wifi only rpi
here the little web server
and here how the http page would look like
then master.py would grab that info and would compose the proper supplicant file and put into place and reboot. .. and then the RPI would connect to the home internet through wifi
