[arm-allstar] RPi2-3 V1.02beta - Initial Setup - CRDA Error

Thu Apr 21 16:07:58 EST 2016

Most interesting, Doug. I completely missed the message you posted to the
list. The ONLY thing I did was to try the wifi-menu -o command after
running the first time setup script.  I found the command in the 'How To
Notes' section. I noticed that the 'Wireless How To' covered only the BBB,
but thought I'd give the command a try anyway. That's why I was pleasantly
surprised when it seemed to work. The new node logged in to my wifi router
via Wifi, I could ping Google from the node, and my new node was listed on
Allstar.

I'm out of play time today, but I'll fire up the Pi3 Wifi using your notes
tomorrow. First, I'll boot with the existing setup just to see what happens
before I make any changes.
