Hi David, I think I solved by updating (actually I also changed it) the router firmware. This also made my Chromecast work much better ;-).
That said I have issues having the connection configured properly, make the Ip static and so on. I know Angstrom connection manager is Connman (the system neglects /etc/network/interfaces file), but I haven't been able to find a good guide online to use it. Any suggestion? Actually any good place to go learn how to configure networking on linux (angstrom above all) will be helpful.
