[arm-allstar] Operation through iPhone hotspot

[Doug Crompton]

Chris,

 Two things.  First there is a current bug in the wireless code that does
not accept the single quote character. Iphones apparently get named
something like - Chris' Iphone  - if your phone name has an ' (single
quote) in it take it out. To do this you need to rename the phone as the
SSID is the phone name.

Second - what provider are you using? If it is AT&T there is an issue and I
can supply you with a fix but first make sure the first problem is solved
and if that does not work get back to me.

You should get a valid IP address (NOT 127.0.0.1) once you fix the name. If
you do and you are then not getting connections let me know.
