Hi,
Device version: Linux beaglebone 3.8.13 #1 SMP Wed Jun 5 11:21:00 CEST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux
I am trying to connect to internet using a netgear USB dongle (type: WG111v2) on my BeagleBone black (running on Angstorm)
lsusb produces this result…

The wifi internet setup in my home is static IPv4 based, with wpa security. The wifi router is at 192.168.0.1, DNS servers are configured on the router.
I tried the adafruit tutorial for setting up wifi…http://learn.adafruit.com/beaglebone/wifi after following this tutorial for some reason wlan0 gets set for IPv6 addressing and not IPv4 addressing.
Please suggest how I can get the wifi configured for static IP on the BBB.
thanks
