Hello!
I´ve bought my bubba 2 yesterday, connected as a server on my lan.
All works fine except the WLAN, i can´t turn it on the whole page is "gray". I´ve tried so set the bubba as server, server+router+firewall.
I´ve tried to connect it directly to internet and via the lan port connect it to my computer.
It is connected as lan via Airport Extreme
Any ideas anyone?

Do you definitely have the wifi version of the B2? It doesn't sound like you do.

That's probably the case then
Get the simple questions out of the way first and all that.
I don't have a wifi B2 so I probably won't be much help now.
You could make sure the wifi card is being detected. If you SSH into the box and run
what's the output?

You probably need to be running it as root.

that must be
The extra "-" here is critical as it seems the lspci file is located in the extended $PATH from root (/sbin I guess). The $PATH parameter is only loaded into the session if the "-" option is added to the su command. Always do "su -" if you don't like weird error messages

Hi Christian,
Please log in as admin on the web interface, then go to Settings -> Time and language and set a time zone.
Best regards,

It is in the package pciutils, not installed on the Bubba2 by default.
EDIT:
Sorry, here is how to install it:
# apt-get install pciutils

Well, I still think the answer to Mr Vaders' problem is the time zone.
See above.

I might be wrong, but I think all you have to to do is set a time zone in the web interface, and then perhaps reboot the device.
I remember being disappointed with the wireless being greyed out when I first got my B3 too, and that was what it took to sort it out...
