Communicating with Raspberry Pi via MAVLink over Wi-Fi

Managed to successfully follow the steps here http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/raspberry-pi-via-mavlink.html to get Communicating with Raspberry Pi via MAVLink except for Wi-Fi.

The link suggested as above http://pingbin.com/2012/12/setup-wifi-raspberry-pi/ is where I’m stuck. Tried several times with no luck.

I copied wpa_supplicant.conf-unused to wpa_supplicant.conf and added the W-Fi details as required.

Same Pi works OK on same network with a current copy of Rasbian. Not sure what flavor the latest image from firmware.ardupilot.org is but I can’t make it work.

Must be missing something…

i had same darn problem, the only way I got it to work was by loading kde desktop and then loading the wap_gui module which let me set alll the WiFi parameters, have not had an issue since

sudo wpa_gui

(sudo apt-get install wpagui, if not present on your system),
