Additionally I've been told the wifi interface can not be reset through software . . . Which if fact, is a huge omission. Which IMHO makes this board nothing more than a toy. I do agree that using the Octavo OSD3358 is a big deal. EAGLE . . . yeah I do not personally design circuits. My buddy does, and refuses to use anything other than Orcad. So rather moot from our perspective over here. Anyway, I'd honestly prefer to just use a BBB or perhaps a BBG with a USB wifi dongle that can be made reliable. Also, replacing the ethernet with wifi while perhaps a cost "issue" is not something I'd like to see. I'd like to see both types of interfaces on the same board. But if one had to go, get rid of the wifi . . . Just my 2 cents. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
