[arm-allstar] WiFi related issues

[LaRoy McCann]

Hey Doug,
Yes, I was running local kbd and the 7”touch screen monitor.

This was an updated image with no firewall changes.  I think the default is
no firewall.

All my phones and laptops use the same WiFi and never had a problem with
dns.

I’ve had this same problem in the past when I tried to use the WiFi instead
of the lan but did not realize then that it was a dns issue.

127.0.0.0 means use its self for dns resolution.  The wireless config
scripts should get the ip to use for dns when the access point hands out
all the dhcp info. Not sure where this happens yet but It seems something
is going wrong with this process.  I’ll do some more testing today and see
if I can run anything down.
