I think ideally I'd much rather set wifi up manually if it was not too much of a hassle. Time is one thing, but pulling what's left of your hair out for a week is not really my idea of fun. As for googling, I would probably not use beaglebone for a keyword at all, and just start googling "linux manual wifi setup" or some such keywords. But if it's like bluetooth, which is also somewhat complicated. It can be done.
