I used the image mentioned earlier and put it on a 4GB SD card. After the first boot to ubuntu I followed the instructions here:
http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a1..._ubuntu_image/
and executed 'depmod -a' and rebooted.
On reboot the wireless worked fine and connected. But I still couldn't access the internet unless I was root. I found this page:
https://blog.tuinslak.org/socket-permission-denied
Looks like the image we are using was built with CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK set.
I created the aid_inet group and added myself. Now the internet works fine for me. |

Ok, so instead of unplugging the power and plugging back in I actually went to the top right and selected to restart and the wireless is now working. Thanks ebina1!

I think I screwed something up while trying to get Bluetooth to work. Now I don't even have the Bluetooth application in ubuntu. I purged the 'bluez' ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1812493) (bottom of page) and since then I lost all Bluetooth functionality. Any ideas on how to get it back? |

I didn't get an error, I reinstalled 'bluez' with no issues, but I no longer have any Bluetooth options. |
