Hi Robert -- Follow up response from earlier.
Board in hand is a production model black received two days ago. Attached file is result of further testing. In summary, per your suggestion in re add line to uEnv.txt, achieve some success. Ifconfig output is now populated with tether, wlan0, and in one instance softAP0. I can see the MAC address of the BBBWL in my router's browser window. Connman is functional, without significant errors. Shell connxn is dropped after couple minutes, fairly consistently. Hexdump of eeprom at 0-0050 also included. Thank you for your assistance, Mark -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
