Hi, I really like the Wi-Fi tutorial for the BeagleBone ( http://ladyada.net/products/beaglebone/wifi.html ), but I have a question: Is it possible to configure BeagleBone to be able to connect to two or more access points instead of just one?
Thank You

Re: BeagleBone Wifi tutorial
do you mean at the same time (bridging) or for it to have multiple options for connecting and it picks them by priority?

I mean to have multiple options and select between them automatically.

Re: BeagleBone Wifi tutorial
that would be something the connection manager can do - we haven't played much with it but you could try reading about it here

Re: BeagleBone Wifi tutorial
it looks like the helpful instructions provided here http://ladyada.net/products/beaglebone/wifi.html does not work with connman 0.79 (that is the version currently provided by angstrom repository).
According to this http://connman.net/blogs/patrik/2012/connman-079 , they have made some changes property names,... starting at version 0.79
I have not been able to make wifi to work with connman 0.79
?

Re: BeagleBone Wifi tutorial
The tutorial we have is for the stock Bone distribution - if/when the Bone distro is updated we'll try and update the tutorial to match. Until then we suggest getting the stock distro

Re: BeagleBone Wifi tutorial
I went through the tutorial and I had one issue; connman only seems to support one type of connection at a time, so I could never connect to wifi with the ethernet still attached. After removing the ethernet cable wifi just worked perfectly using the tutorial.
