Could you elaborate a wee bit on that syntax? By the way after booting an 8.4 image I 'tether wifi off' per your suggestion in another thread and did a connect entering my passphrase when prompted. It worked. I had tried this once before but didn't understand that scan wifi doesn't show the SSIDs, the scan wifi does. So I hadn't tried 'services' again.
I'm not understanding the default? is that to make the BBB an access point? If so why would I want to do that in normal operation? Don't I just want to ssh to my BBB after connecting to it via wifi? Or does this default configuration in newer images of 'tether on' allow you to connect to the BBB via wifi without first making configuration changes? - ja On Wednesday, July 13, 2016 at 9:14:00 AM UTC-7, RobertCNelson wrote: > > Hi Jeff, > > On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 3:21 PM, Jeff Albrecht <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> On the BeagleBoard.Org site in the "BeagleBoard.org Latest Firmware >> Images" section the "Debian 8.4 2016-05-13 4GB SD LXQT" image is listed as >> the recommended image.
