Would anyone have some info to get a USB WIFI network detected?  
Basically wlan0 is not in the network interface undifined for some reason , although the device is present. 
Also i made sure the Access Point is not left blank,, added the SSID info
Eth0 is working good, and connected
Im pretty sure it has to be a simple step missed , my first time using Moode.
I have put as much information sorry its a bit long thread.

...

Will cont to troubleshoot but running out of ideas [Image: sad.png]

thank you

@tracks 

This sounds similar to the problem reported by @agaufres

By default during its startup Raspbian now blocks the WiFi (via rfkill) if it finds the country code hasn't been set. The moOde configuration process undoes that and sets the country code to "US". However, @agaufres reported that his WiFi was blocked with a similar moOde report of the missing wlan interface. He is in Switzerland ("CH") and I infer you are in Sweden ("SE"). It isn't clear to me how the country code could be the root cause but I've repeated built and configured moOde in the US without incident.

What is the output you get when you run rfkill? If you see something like the following

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ sudo rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: no

then try unblocking it 

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ sudo rfkill unblock wlan


and check again for the wlan interface

Let us know if this works for you. If it does, then we need to revisit the way moOde initializes WiFi.

Thanks for the suggestion Kent, but there is no rfkill process in my case,, i think its because the wlan0 is not present at all 
I think i need to try a new re-install with the USB WIFI attached, i answered Tim with that.
