[arm-allstar] Operation through iPhone hotspot

[Chris Souleles]

Doug - On my iPhone and on the node it shows up as a space, on my cable modem/router in my house for some reason it shows up as a dash.  I put it back to how it originally was on the iPhone.  I think the issue was me messing up the password.  Thanks Chris - W6CS - 73

Chris,
 I thought it was a "-" (dash) that was in there not a space?

Doug - Changed iPhone name back so it now has a space between my name and iPhone.  It works, so it must have been fat fingers on the password.  Thanks for the help.  Chris - W6CS - 73

Chris,
I am curious, can you put the original name back in and try it with a know good password. I want to know if that was the problem.

I changed my iPhone name to eliminate the space. It shows up as one word, no space, no dash.  Now I'm connecting through the hotspot.  
I'm not sure if it was that or if I also had a password problem, but in any event it is working now so I'm going to leave the space out of my iPhone name.  
Thanks for all the help....... now I'm ready to take the node on the road in my RV and see how it works out.

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.
