Hmmm. I found an older TP-Link TL-WN727N and plugged that in and it works fine... -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving email

A guy on amazon says that maybe they've changed the chipset in these? If that's the case, is there a reliable WiFi dongle for the BeagleBone that doesn't require tremendous effort to get working? It took me 3 before I found the TL-WN727N. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/disc

[beagleboard] Re: WiFi was working, is now missing

That was kinda my point. This project was a small stepper for driving a microscope focusing knob and an IR blaster to drive a camera shutter for automating narrow-depth of field image stacking. The goal was to build a delightful tool he didn't have to think about, and not an ongoing IT headac

Re: [beagleboard] Re: WiFi was working, is now missing

I've got it out on the end of a 6" extender. That and making sure I had a beefy wall wart was a big help in the past. I'd disabled HDMI on other projects, but didn't this time since it's out on the extender. Good point though. Worth a shot. I've got Adafuit's "814" adapter

Re: [beagleboard] Re: WiFi was working, is now missing

Heh. So the Adafruit part was working, but then this morning, it's decided to come up as wlan1 not wlan0 and is dead to WiFi again. I doubled up my entry in /etc/network/interfaces and it's back. I'll need to punch some holes in the lid of my enclosure so the 3-man IT staff it takes keep Linux

Re: [beagleboard] Re: WiFi was working, is now missing

Sure enough. Project I was working on was a gift. I bring it over and WiFi doesn't work. I'm so completely over BeagleBones. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group. To unsubscri

Re: [beagleboard] Re: WiFi was working, is now missing

That's fine. I'd have said the same thing. ;) I'll say this though, this board (and others like it) are competing for mindshare in a pretty competitive space. That WiFi has been such a mess, and seems to only be getting worse isn't going to help grow the platform. On Saturday, December 24, 20

Re: [beagleboard] Re: WiFi was working, is now missing

I have the adapter out on the end of a 6" cable. Even when it worked back home, it was flakey. Even after applying all the power-management voodoo, it was flakey. After applying everyone's homegrown wifi-reset scripts, it was flakey. I figured I might run into problems, so I grabbed an Arduino
