Tuesday, 9th of March 2010
Finally got off my but and bought a gumstix computer. Bought the following:

1 x 5.0 volt power adapter  
1 x serial null-modem cable  
1 x console-st  
1 x gumstix connex 400xm  
1 x robostix  
1 x Screws & Spacers kit  
1 x wifistix-CF FCC

to start with. I was able to get the gumstix, wifistix and robostix put together into a little sandwich. Not so easy and afread to screw something up, but got it together.

I then got the wifi up and running. At first I couldn't get a connection, but then I remembered I had enabled MAC address filtering on my AP. Once I added the MAC address from the wifistix (printed on a little label on the chip), I got a connection to the AP which is running DHCP.

I was able to ssh as root@ using "gumstix" as the password. Cool.

dropbear is the sshd server

 as you can see it has the usb and mwlan (wifi) running dhcp as well as a serial login. There is also bonjour running.
