[Roboticsprimer-users] iCreate/gumstix

[Robotics P. u. h. l. <rob...@li...>]

OK I have connected up a 6 volt supply to the gumstix.
and it works ok
the instructions for changing /etc/network/interfaces do not work.
If I make either of the changes suggested in the intro text the wifi does not work
if I have the line    
iface mwlan0 inet 192.168.0.1 
in interfaces when the gumstix reboots it says somethimg like 192.168.0.1 is not a method
if I do it with the interfaces file as it came 
iface mwlan0 inet dhcp
the ifconfig always, so far, says its address is 192.168.1.104
so I move on to try the intro stuff
when i try 
./intro client.xml
I get connection refused, even after I change the .xml file to my address

A few questions 
1) do I need  to have player running on my host system if what is the commandline
I should use. I have only used Player/Stage as a simulator so far and have no idea
ho to connect it to the robot.
2)should something be running on the gumstix? if so how should I down load it?
3) does any one know how to set up the gumstix so it comes up with a specified address? The instructions on the web site don't work in my case.

If there is anyone out there who has got further than me in the iCreate/Gumstix
set up I would appreciate a reply.
