Just want to thank everyone here for their help, and offer a followup with my discovered solution in case anybody else will find it useful.
I tried 4 different wifi adapters, including Edimax, the one from Adafruit, and D-Link Wireless N150. The Edimax and Adafruit ones were identified by the operating system but never worked consistently. The D-Link Wireless N150 was not even recognized. Here's the winner: http://www.amazon.com/KEEBOX-W150NUIEEE-Wireless-N-150-Adapter/dp/B004FM1X1O/ My Debian 7 Wheezy Beaglebone Black from Adafruit RevC recognized this KEEBOX without any drivers or modifications needed. I just needed a few lines in /etc/network/interfaces which look like this: *auto wlan0* *allow-hotplug wlan0* *iface wlan0 inet dhcp* * wpa-ssid PUTYOURNETWORKNAMEHERE* * wpa-psk PUTYOURPASSWORDHERE* this is all that's needed for my generic comcast router. best of luck and happy hacking! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
