Hi,

thanks  for your help, Stuart. I found another thread in the mailing list (Overo Air WiFi Module not working with provided Gumstix images) and so I downloaded one of Sakoman's..

When I added something like that in /etc/network/interfaces:

     auto wlan0
     iface wlan0 inet dhcp
 
the firmware crashed when booting;)

Maybe it could be helpful how I solved the problem. This (unencrypted) example works for me:

allow-hotplug wlan0                                            
auto wlan0                                                    
iface wlan0 inet dhcp                                          
        wireless_mode managed                                  
        wireless_essid  gumstix

BTW: what is the difference between Sakoman's images and the provided ones?
