I really like the 2014-03-19 image. It solves most of the problems I was having with Ubuntu and Angstrom. I am now able to connect wirelessly to WPA secured networks using Adafruit's dongle while tethered via a USB cable! This will make developing and debugging an autonomous robot that uses computer vision infinitely easier.
I do have a few ideas for making the image slightly better. First, any chance you can install xrdp? This would allow my students to remote into the BeagleBone without having to access the Internet? Second, if I remember correctly it looks like the version designed to run from the SD card lists wlan0 within Wicd, but the eMMC version does not. IAny chance you can list wlan0 within Wicd for both versions? Third, I had to input the passphrase into Wicd, generate the PSK using wpa_passphrase, and then add the PSK into Wicd. Not sure why. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I suspect it's some sort of glitch with Wicd. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
