[arm-allstar] WiFi With BBB?

[John]

Correct, Doug. Email and general web surfing are fine. We don't do any
streaming video because of our data cap. I normally have the ethernet port
on the BBB plugged in to a Cradlepoint CTR35 router configured for Wifi as
WAN. I was never able to get the BBB operational when I tried to connect
the BBB directly to the ethernet port on a different router tethered to the
hotspot.
