I've been trying for several hours to get wifi working, it never seems to connect although it can 
see my station.

I tried this too as it makes sense to turn off usb0, but that didn't seem to work either, I wrote 
this script to make it easy from console (I also tried ifconfig usb0 down)

ifdown usb0
wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
sleep 10
udhcpc eth0 &


Any other ideas?

Thanks
