What I envision is adding an append statement of some kind to local.conf to load in the wireless related files to core-image-minimal, same with openjdk-7-jre and tomcat7, but my first efforts have generated some unintelligible error for me. So that’s why I’m looking for direction on where to start with this. What was the error you got? I'll bet it was for 'iw' which is a package from meta-oe, so you'll need to add that layer Once you've added the meta-oe layer, you should be able to put this line in your local.conf: CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " iw wpa-supplicant" -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
