Hi Wil, This worked! Thanks you very much for pointing this out! This is something that should be in the getting started... Is there any particular reason why the driver is not signed? The getting started guide is very detailed and very well done, giving lot of useful information, but don't even address a major issue that affects a growing number of users (Windows 7 and Vista don't have this issue?). In my opinion, the BBB is an incredible piece of hardware, way superior to the RPi. But it's WAY (and I mean WAY WAY WAY) less user friendly than the RPi: no guide is up to date, nothing is working like described in the guides, Angstrom is a confidential distrib (why choosing this by default? power users can install Angstrom by their own! People wants Ubuntu/Debian! (I personally prefer Debian when no GUI because Ubuntu's do-release-upgrade always breaks everything)), and this is very unfortunate. This gives a poor first user experience, limiting the growth of the community. It looks like the product is made for and by hyper specialized nerds. As I understand, the beagleboard.org projects are community driven, so making the product accessible only to a very small part of the population is definitively not a good thing. NB: I tried to edit the getting started guide to add the driver related issue in the troubleshooting section, but I guess it's not a wiki -- no edit link once logged in. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
