   Bit of a random question, but is there a guide on setting up WIFI on the BBB?

   Unfortunately not right now since things have changed a bit with the move to Debian as the default BeagleBone Black operating system. I think your best bet is to ask the folks in the BeagleBone Black google group what the best setup for wifi is on the latest Debian image: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!categories/beagleboard/beaglebone-black

   I also saw this link has some more recent useful info, but might only apply to Ralink devices since it assumes an ra0 device. It’s worth a shot to check out and try using wicd-curses to configure WLAN though: http://inspire.logicsupply.com/2014/07/beaglebone-wifi-installation.html
