Ok I got the unit up and running with a tobi board and overo cpu. Now I am having trouble getting the wifi to grab an IP from my wireless router. I know I need to learn liunx and help myself. The only thing is that somethings are distribution specific when I look them up. Now when I uname –a I get Linux overo 2.6.34 #1 Tue Jul 20 20:21:26 PDT 2010 armv7l GNU/Linux The question is what distribution should I be looking at for the man pages and how to’s? My wifi passes all the test and I can see my wireless signal it just wont get an IP. So if you could point me to the distribution so I can do the reading to help myself that would be awesome! Brad |

You can either set a IP manually or use dhclient wlan0 to get a IP via DHCP. > Wifi: > > > http://fastr.github.com/articles/marvell-wifi-on-gumstix-overo-fire.html > > > http://old.nabble.com/Another-overo-fire-wifi-post-tp29586571p29688503.html > > AJ ONeal > > > On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 4:28 PM, Brad Knorr <br...@kn...> > wrote: > Ok I got the unit up and running with a tobi board and overo > cpu.

Well after a lot of digging and reading, and updating the build it wasn't until I stopped the network service manager that I got the unit to work over wifi. I issued this command: /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop Then I manually configured the wifi and voila! I am happy. Damn frustrating I tell ya. Oh well.
