Re: [Gumstix-users] Strange wifi essid setting in iwconfig

[<ad...@so...>]

Hey Dave,

I did try selecting the essid of test1 (which then successfully gets
shortened to test) but it still doesn't connect.

On the buildroot explanation page it says to delete a file .cXXXXX (where x
is a string of numbers)or the wireless will not be recompiled properly. I
did check for this file but could not find it. Could that have caused this
problem when building a new image (i.e. the module mcf25 doesn't load on
start)? Also where can I add a command so that the mcf25 module gets loaded
on start? Is it in the init.d section?

Is it just worth building a new file image and seeing if that solves the
problem?

Thanks again for all your help,

Alex
