    Hi!

    First of all thank you for this work, it is wonderful to have an OS that small.
    But I'm having troubles in configuring wifi...... :(

    this is the result from lsusb command, I also already checked with lsmod to see if the correct module is loaded on the kernel, and so it is;

    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

    Also with ifconfig I can see wlan0, but I can't get no IP address, and I don't know how to do it....searching the web i found those iw utilities, so that I could list available wifi networks, and maybe connect to them.....for sure I'm missing something very stupid, please help me!! :)

    ifconfig result:
    wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:EF:6B:11:FE
    UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

    Again, thanks for the good work you're doing!
    Alessandro

    iw tools & utils are still missing , that's why you're facing those troubles with the wlan config. I haven't touched the wireless part yet (same goes for the BT) and I'm planning to do that real soon. I'm now focused on compatibility tests because the OS boots fine on RPi3 but not on RPi1 and I guess I have optimized too much the kernel config, that's why it's still a beta. Inner tests are now on wired eth board and that part is fine. please also see yesterday post (http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/general/beta-goes-on-and-hw-tests-too/) for further details. stdout messages are there but since it's still a beta you may see them on serial console only even if I have already changed that.
