 So, I got a cheap NodeMCU board from eBay. Here are some notes to get started with the ESP8266 !

+Reset your board (powercycle). Connect using a serial app, like _picocom_
+    picocom /dev/ttyUSB0
+And you should be ready to go ! More info on NodeMCU usage, on the github page: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware
+### Connect to your AP
+In the serial terminal:
+    wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
+    wifi.sta.config("SSID","password")
+    ip = wifi.sta.getip()
+    print(ip)
+Output is the current IP of your board. Open a new terminal and try to _ping_ it =)
+This setting is kept in flash I guess, since it still works after powercycling the board...
