How did you go installing Linux? What distro? Have you got wifi working?
- ChuckMcM 12y agoI grab the latest ubunutu of the elinux.org site, and Wifi works out of the box (with a generic Wifi USB device). You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and make sure that you auto wlan0 and provide WPA passwords and what not.
- bootload 12y agothx @ChuckMcM I've only read about unstable installs - the only reason I want to try a beagle is the OpenBSD armv7 port http://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html http://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html can't see wifi though :(
- stefanix 12y agoDo your research on what Wifi devices to use. Many don't work and others are unstable causing agony and frustration like a thousand burning suns. After all you rely on drivers that compile perfectly on ARM. This one works well: TP-LINK TL-WN722N
