[arm-allstar] WiFi RPI3BP problem

[Doug Crompton]

Zvi,

  You did not say what image you were using for the Pi. Are you using V1.5
downloaded and updated from hamvoip.org? In that case you will use the menu
to setup WIFI for the Pi 3/3B+ and scan for SSID and enter passphrase.
There is nothing you need to load or setup for WIFI other than this.

The Pi 2 has no built-in WIFI. Our WIFI support requires at least a Pi 3
with internal WIFI. The Ethernet and the WIFI on the Pi 3 have different
mac addresses so they will issue different IP addresses when using DHCP.
The Pi 3B+ also has 5 GHz WIFI.
