I can't seem to get wifi working on my BBB, and can't find any current info 
online.  I'm running bone-debian-8.3-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-01-24-4gb.img with 
its default kernel 4.1.15-ti-rt-r43 on a good BBB (not the broken one I 
wrote about in other threads).  The wifi adapter is an OurLink 
(https://www.adafruit.com/product/1012) which works perfectly on a 
Raspberry Pi.

I wasn't getting anywhere with connman so I uninstalled it and followed the 
instructions here 
(http://elinux.org/BBBWiFiConfigs#3._Modify_.2Fetc.2Fnetwork.2Finterfaces_file)

etc/network/interfaces is:

allow-hotplug wlan0
> iface wlan0 inet manual
>   wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
> iface default inet dhcp

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf is

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
> update_config=1
> network={
>  ssid="galileo"
>  scan_ssid=1
>  psk="my router's psk"
>  proto=RSN

The ssid and psk in the file are correct; the router is configured to 
wpa2-psk and works fine for all other devices. 

The wifi adapter seems to be recognized.   When it's plugged in dmesg shows:

If I run ifup wlan0 i can get it to appear in ifconfig, but it never gets 
an ip address :

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:e0:4c:08:ac:98

> dhclient wlan0 gets nothing.
and after running wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf I see multiple failed attempts to 
connect:

wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with fc:f5:28:fe:1b:90 (SSID='galileo' 
> freq=2422 MHz)
> wlan0: Trying to associate with fc:f5:28:fe:1b:90 (SSID='galileo'

> duration=10 reason=CONN_FAILED
>
> I'm absolutely certain that the passphrase I entered in 
wpa_supplicant.conf is correct.

I see a lot of entries like this in my router's log (NBG6503 is the router 
model #) which seem to coincide with dhclient trying to get an address:

NBG6503 user.notice kernel: (null) 


What am I missing?
