[Roboticsprimer-users] WiFi address fixed

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

Hi

I finally managed to fix the  address for the gumstix wifi and here is the
lines in /etc/network/interfaces that worked for me

 auto mwlan0
iface mwlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.199
netmask 255.255.255.0
pre-up /sbin/iwconfig $IFACE essid any txpower 100mW

It took a long process of trial and error to find this, I'm not sure why this worked and others I tried did not. Perhaps it is that I have a wireless router DSL connection?
Anyway if the instructions on the web site don't work for you, you might want to try this.
I still haven't managed to get intro to work with player, but at the moment I cross compile a c-program scp it to the gumstix and run it on the gumstix and it controls the
Create through the oi. 
If there is anyone out there that has managed to get the roboticsprimer code to work with the gumstix option I would appreciate hearing about  it.  
I have documented my experiences in getting to this stage in the Help Forum and on wiki. 
If there are others who are controlling Create via a program on gumstix using Create's oi,  perhaps we can share our knowledge of oi here.
