Wifi connectivity and Jasper

[WhiskerBiscuit]

I just installed the Jasper image and setup guide, however I'm not seeing a new "Jasper" wifi network, so I can't proceed any further. The instructions are kind of vague (when should I plug in the wifi dongle, should I remove the LAN cable, if so when). I know the wifi does work (as well as the usb microphone and speakers) as I tested it with the default distro that came with my unit.

What can I do to troubleshoot this?

I could never get mine to show up while the wired adapter was connected. I also had a couple issues getting mine to communicate with the route and was not successful until I set a static address.
From my notes

Once Jasper ad-hoc network is connected and SID and key are entered. Reconnect network cable.
edit /etc/network/interfaces
and switch to static address

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.100.33
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.100.1

wpa-ssid "GoAway"
wpa-psk "MyKEY"

Hope this might help
