[SOLVED] Post installation script and TP-LINK wireless adaptor

I installed Crunchbang 10 bpo.
I connect to the internet with TP Link WN723N Mini USB wireless network adaptor
(firefox and synaptic package manager works) but when I run the post-installation script I have the
message :

Failed to connect to package repository!

  This script requires a working internet connection. Please configure
  your internet connection, then hit any key to continue, else hit "q"
  to quit.

Please type this in a terminal and report the result:

ping -c3 www.google.com

(you're telling me you have a working internet connection, but the post-install script thinks you don't, right?)

OK, this is a known issue with the post install script's internet connection test. Here's how to bypass the test.

Edit the file that does the checking:

gksudo geany /usr/lib/lib-cb-welcome/check-internet-connection

Find this line (the first one, not the second one):

IS=`/bin/ping -c 1 ftp.debian.org | grep -c "64 bytes"`

Comment it out, and put a new line after it:

#IS=`/bin/ping -c 1 ftp.debian.org | grep -c "64 bytes"`
IS=3

(edit) this is the lazy way, a better way would be to change the line to:

IS=`/bin/ping -c 1 www.google.com | grep -c "64 bytes"`

save the file, and run the cb-welcome script again:

cb-welcome
