Thought so. Yeah, the wireless network isn't coming up at all. If it
was, there would be at least a wlan0 or mwlan0 interface. I'm guessing
you built your own image and used that to flash the board? If so, you
need to make sure that you've enabled the pcmcia and wlan options in
the conf file. Otherwise, wlan won't work.<br>

I tried to ping a computer on the network and this is what I get

# ping 192.168.134.1
PING 192.168.134.1 (192.168.134.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
-------------------------------------------
So to me it seems like its not connecting to the network. Any further
assistance?

<pre wrap="">Can you post the results of ifconfig and route? I notice you're blocking
out the IP addresses, but I'm guessing that the WLAN is a private wlan
and not returning publicly addressable IP's, so it might help if you
simply don't block those out. Makes trouble shooting much when you know
what is being looked for.

First of all I get an error during boot up;

Once I log into the gumstix and try a ping, I get this response
