... this looks to be a very interesting project - although I must
confess I only discovered piCorePlayer a week or so ago (hangs head in
shame) it piqued my interest so I bought a pi2 Mod B to play around
with.  

I've spent a chunk of today attempting to integrate with my existing LMS
setup, Radio, Touch & Duet. The initial set-up is very straightforward
but I'm tearing my hair out as to why I can't get the wifi (Ralink
Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter) to work, installed noob just
to test all the hardware is working okay - which it is.

I've written piCorePlayer to my sdcard, attached via cabled ethernet,
booted without issue and can access the web GUI. So the on to configure
wifi is where my issues begin. I'm persistently getting a message of:-

-------
Found wifi device wlan0
Standby for scan of available networks...
Set to try a few times to obtain a lease.
Attempting auto connection With GONZONET 
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
too few arguments.
........................
udhcpc (v1.24.1) started
Sending discover...
Sending discover...  
Sending discover...  
No lease, failing
Network connection down! Attempting reconnection two times, etc,
etc

I'm completely at a loss as to whats going on, it almost as if the
wireless params aren't valid/not being read - I've tried editing the
newconfig.cfg and used different combos, have changed the hostname just
to make sure it's implemented my changes which it appears to have done
so for all but the wifi part. Has anybody else seen this behaviour?

I've attached the output of the diagnostics WIFI.txt and listed below.

Really appreciate any suggestions as to what's going on here.
