Thank you for your reply. After running the command "dmesg | grep 6205" the terminal returned nothing. just a new line.
root@clanton:~# dmesg | grep 6205 root@clanton:~#
I figured that would probably be a good thing to get working first since it should return the same value for almost any Intel Galileo w/Intel 6205 WiFi.
looking at the function list in the bin folder these are the only functions i see:
ash gunzip pidof.sysvinit bash gzip ping busybox hostname ping6 cat ionice ps chgrp iostat pwd chmod ip rm chown kill rmdir cp ln sed cpio login setserial cttyhack login.shadow sh date ls sleep dd mkdir stty df mknod sync dmesg mktemp tar dnsdomainname more touch dumpkmap mount true echo mountpoint umount egrep mountpoint.sysvinit uname false mv usleep fgrep netstat vi fsync nice zcat grep pidof
I dont see grep but i do see dmesg i understand the or "|" operator but maybe grep could detect the device. what other commands could i run to get a more accurate picture of what is going on in the system. I have hardly any linux knowledge but my way around the terminal for programming in "c" because of a class i took.
