Awesome instructable. If your RasPi browser nameserver isn't pulling up domains, try:

# sudo cat >> /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
control-z-key

This adds the Google public DNS server. You can add any nameserver you want instead of 8.8.8.8

Others can build on this to do hardware SPI instead of bitbanging, saving digital pins and making things faster, cool :)

Thanks so much for the tip! I can use all the advice I can get ;)

I'll give it a try, and update the tutorial if is works.
