So what we've done, if there is a wifi interface found on bootup, we will use that as one of the default access methods. So out of the box, you can ssh via: eth0 (if plugged in) usb0 (if plugged in to usb) wlan0 (if bbgw, or you have a usb wifi adapter installed) the default seeed bbgw image, has a captivate portal* so you can configure wifi thru a web gui.. Where as the generic beaglebone image, you just need to ssh in over wifi/eth/usb, then disable the wifi tether thru connmanctl and setup your final wifi connection. *The captivate portal used is a little overkill, i'd like to see something simple and tied to the bone101 web gui..
