My openSUSE boxes are OK and I can see the Edimax dongle attached to the
Beagleboard beaconing.

hello Sid,
this is common place. lost of posts regarding wifi and BB.
You didn't mention your BB os you are using.
Short answer that usually works is:
Break link to /etc/resolv.conf
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
resolv.conf should have your dns
Disable/etc /init.d/connman
chmod -x /etc /init.d/connman
reboot
I use static ip's and edit my hosts. hostname. resolve.conf.
interfaces files.
I hope you get it working

Short answer that usually works is:Break link to /etc/resolv.conf
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
It was a hard file before and on reboot it makes the symlink to
/var/run/resolv.conf which is empty.
resolv.conf should have your dns
The dns was in the original /etc/resolv.conf file.
Disable/etc /init.d/connman
Do you mean "stop" here?
chmod -x /etc /init.d/connman
Was already rwx-r-x-r-x.
reboot
No change after reboot.
I use static ip's and edit my hosts. hostname. resolve.conf.
interfaces files.
I shall try using static values with the ESSID and WPA-PSK key added.
I hope you get it working

Will people please stop posting such hacks? In the connman case you should do one of the following:
* use update-rc.d to disable the startup scripts
* edit /var/lib/connman/defaults.conf and add something like
[Configuration]
Policy=manual
Priority=200
* edit /var/lib/connman/dev_<your mac addres>.conf and change Policy to manual
* use the connman gui to have connman ignore the interface

Your card is not associated with any accespoint, so dhcp will never work.

In /etc/network/interfaces I have tried
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-essid TalkTalk520
wpa-psk XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
and
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa-driver hostap

Maybe it's a little silly question but... Have you tried 'ifup wlan0'?

Seems to be better. Retry ifdown wlan0/ifup wlan0. Sometimes it helps
(at least for my laptop wireless atheros card).
You might want to check the region for the wifi and the router. I had a problem where the wireless router was set to UK country and auto-selected channel 13 - which isn’t valid for USA which is what the BeagleBoard / Angstrom was using…

Hi all,
I would like to know if any one had a solution for this problem. I
am working with an RT3070-based wifi USB on Bealge board Rev.B6 and

works well on my ubuntu 8.04 PC.

Do you know what does "disassociating by local choice (reason=3)"
mean? Problem of kernel 2.26.29?

I was only successful after disabling Connman. There seem to be two
pieces of software (udev and connman perhaps) that are both trying to
configure the wifi. So they screw each other up. Doing chmod -x /etc/
init.d/connman, and then putting the appropriate lines in /etc/network/
interfaces did the trick for me. Also remember that the dhcp script
is not terribly robust. So sometimes you may have to do ifdown / ifup
to retry.

Hi Geof,
Thanks so much, my usb wifi is working on Beagle Board.

No such luck here even afer "update-rc.d -f connman remove" and "chmod
