Hi Guys, Thanks for the quick responses,
1. Flashed from stock Angstrom image to that one. 2. booted new image and nano edited the /etc/network/interfaces to enable the wifi ( ralink a/b usb ) as stated its powered via a hub ( powered ) .. 3. ran apt-get update As simple as that, I did think perhaps it might have been something to do with date/time so just verified using ntpdate.
