I downloaded and tested the March 27th image today. Thanks for including 
xrdp-it made testing wifi go much faster. Here's what I found.

   - I was able to connect to a WPA2 secured network at the school where I 
   teach
   - I was unable to connect to my cell phone when unsecured (Android 
   portable wifi hotspot)
   - I was able to connect to my cell phone if I secured the connection 
   (WPA2 PSK)
   - I was unable to connect to a WPA2 secured network at home
   - One of my students was able to connect to the WPA2 secured school 
   network, another was unable to connect
   - The students that was unable to connect to the school network was also 
   unable to connect to my cell phone (secured as well-didn't try unsecured)
   - I was able to create an ad-hoc network (at least I think it did 
   because it showed up in Wicd)
   
We were all using the tiny Adafruit dongles and tethered to BeagleBones via 
USB. Whenever we were unable to connect, we could see the connection-it 
just timed out when trying to get an IP (unsecured networks) or 
authenticating (secured network). Any ideas?

I also tried setting up an ad-hoc network. It showed up within Wicd, but I 
wasn't able to detect it with a computer, my Android cell phone, or an 
iPhone. Is ad-hoc working for anybody else?

Given the inconsistency, I'm guessing the problem is hardware (the dongle), 
so I ordered a few of the Netgear WNA1100 dongles. Should have them in a 
couple of weeks.

Also, looks like the eMMC version doesn't have Wicd functioning out of the 
box.

Thanks for all the work you're putting into this.
