Wireless now working in Ubuntu - thanks to neatojones




You can get wireless working by editing your /etc/network/interfaces file to look like the following;

Code:
#
# Package tablet-network-setup
# Interfaces you would like to automatically come up at boot. Include wlan0
# here if you want it to come up at boot.

auto lo usb0 wlan0
iface lo inet loopback

# USB cable interface
iface usb0 inet static
	address 192.168.2.2
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.2.1

# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.

# Instead of using this, NetworkManager is recommended, but if you have
# excluded this in install, you may set wireless connect at boot here.
#

# If you have a wireless network at home you would like the tablet to
# connect to automatically at boot

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

# this will enable power saving (maximum), like on maemo
# maemo normally has it at 200u but switches to 100u when system inactive
# - since we don't have powered / mce / something that speaks dsme just yet
# we can't get this information.
#	up iwconfig wlan0 power 200u multicast
#
#	wpa-ssid SSID
#	wpa-psk Password


I'll add this to the guide and i'll provide an update for tablet-network-setup to include the changes
