Firstly, in order to follow the rest of the book, you have to connect your Raspberry Pi zero to a monitor using HDMI and then do the following. Create a new folder with the name ssh at /boot folder and restart your pi. You will be prompted with a message about SSH. If this is done, then you can continue the rest of the chapter and work remotely using SSH as described next.
Also notice that you need the latest image. Older images from your old Raspberry Pi board or anything else will not work and there will be no Wi-Fi adaptor found. So have in mind that you need to install the latest image.
