Just got the Beagle Board and loaded up Angstrom and all goes well
till I hook up Belkin Wireless G and get the following message -

The demo version is dated 09/20 but the uImage is dated 09/25. Have
tried another version of uImage but then my hub is not recognized at
all. So am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if something has
changed in the newer image of uImage? Any help would be greatly
appreciated, or if someone knows where to get the earlier uImage.
Thanks.
I had very mixed results with wireless. My conclusion was to use
wired ethernet. Linux doesn't really deal with WiFi very well.
What I found was that the Belkin works as long as it has never been
plugged into any other computer. But once it's been used somewhere
else, the drivers can't use it anymore.
Thanks for the reply, not to fond of using wireless but needed it
because of the location of the board. Anyway, did manage to get things
working. Copied the uImage loaded by the Angstrom demo to the boot
portion of the mmc and now the wireless is recognized on startup, so
there must be an issue with the uImage on the download page.
I've been reading most of your posts about USB Wireless dongles and it
has left me a little bit confused.
I'm using the Angstrom build and I'm wondering whether to purchase a
Wireless or hardwired USB to LAN converter. I'm just seeking for some
advice from those who have played with this area.
Also if possible can you recommend any particular brand of product
that should work with little trouble setting it up. Preferably
something I can purchase here in the UK as I'm trying to keep the
sting of import duty to a minimum :).

I got a Ralink RT2573-based USB dongle (branded as Sweex) working
without any problems, the only thing I did was setting OTG host mode
(which can be done through /etc/defaults/usb-gadgets), adding my
wireless key and essid in /etc/network/interfaces and plugging in the
stick. USB wireless in Linux is not nearly as bad as some people think
or experience, it all boils down to getting a supported chipset which
is getting easier every day. I'd recommend sticking to a Ralink RT25xx
based device, they are vendor supported, Ralink released open-source
drivers and specs to the community, and these devices have been
supported by the mainline kernel for years.
I did have a problem with the linux-omap-2.6.28-git kernel I built
using OpenEmbedded, the USB driver goes mad when I boot using that
kernel and plug in any type of USB device while the OTG port is in
host mode. I reverted to the pre-build linux-omap2-2.6.26 kernel and
things are running perfectly fine now, I can boot the BB with the
dongle attached and it will get a WAN IP automatically so I can SSH
into it.
