[arm-allstar] WiFi With BBB?

[(KP4TR)Ramon Gonzalez]

I was considering a bridge (Pepwave, Vonets etc) connected to the 
ethernet port. That way it takes away the BBB form doing anything wifi 
related. But then its an extra cable etc, so still considering options.

But BBB using Wifi is a challenge. It works good sometimes or doesn't 
work at all.
