[arm-allstar] RPi2 Wifi

[Doug Crompton]

RPi2 version 1.0 does not support wifi, at least not as part of the package. The next update will support it in DHCP mode only. That is you will be able to switch back and forth between wired and wireless running DHCP.

An alternative I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to run wireless on either the BBB or RPi2 is to use a wired to wireless adapter like the IOGEAR GWU627 available on Amazon for $32 with free shipping.

Doing it this way greatly simplifies things. It requires no drivers or special configuration. The BBB or RPi2 thinks it is talking to a wired network, nothing needs to be changed when switching from wired to wireless. It uses WPS which gets it on the air in seconds with a WPS equipped router.

Has anyone used the Wifi that it will connect with the wifi-menu but can not ping any ip address once set as if the connection would not switch back from eth0? If used with wired networking is works fine.
I had reloaded the SD card a couple of times with this image,  RPi2_V1.0_Allstar.img
