With CF card image 3.x we introduced support for various WLAN USB sticks. Successfully tested stcisk are:

  • AVM Fritz!WLAN USB Stick N (support for a/b/g/n)
  • Alfa AWUS036EW USB WLAN Stick (support for b/g)
  • Alfa AWUS036H USB WLAN (support for b/g)

With API2 we also added support for setting up WLAN configuration through Robotino's display.

On Robotino's display go to

Main menu/Network/wlan0

Display mainmenu network wlan0.png

Here you can

  • Static: Set a static IP address for the wireless interface wlan0
New settings will be directly written to /etc/network/interfaces so that the new settings are also available after reboot. After writing the settings the interface is restarted to make the new settings take effect immediately.
  • DHCP: Configure the interface to query its setting from a DHCP server.
