Hmm. It should connect to the first wireless Ap that it finds.

Some other things to check:

1 - Make sure SSIDs are being broadcast
2 - Make sure that you're not using MAC filtering
3 - Make sure that your AP is running a DHCP server

The gumstix uses DHCP to determine what network its on, so you'd need
to be running a DHCP server on your linux box to serve up IP addresses
over the usbnet link.
