Hi all,
I got my wifi working on 1.0 by setting a static ip.
Apparently, setting a static ip sets the *wired* network to that IP. My wifi IP is still given by DHCP.

And when I disconnect the ethernet cable, then my wifi stops working and I can't get to the pi.

Any idea?

utterly frustrated with this so far.. This looks like a great project, I've received a lot of help, but I can't get anything to work fine.

cheers!

Hi morglum,

I had the same issue when I switched from ethernet to wifi.
After a RasPi reboot I had no connection via wifi.
I "solved" it like this:
1. connect via ethernet
2. set up wifi
3. shutdown
4. unplug ethernet
5. start with wifi dongle plugged in
6. wait a few minutes (!) to connect

Then you'll run into the next problem: Raspyfi is not reachable because MPD has not started correctly, please see my crossposting here:

You can connect via ssh though. After restarting MPD Raspyfi will be reachable via web client again.

Please let us know if you have a solution!

Cheers
