Topic: FYI: If 8" Insignia fails to connect to network...

I have an 8" Insignia Infocast.  I tried for days to get the thing to connect to my wireless network.  It would see the network, detect the security and then it would go to a screen saying that it had failed to connect.  I'll save you the long narrative.  One thing to check is the SSID (or name) of your Wifi network.  If it contains the letter sequence "eth", it will not succeed.  Change it to something else and try again.

The issue is in a chumby script called /usr/chumby/scripts/network_running.sh.  There is a line in the script which is looking for a special case where a wireless network will say it is an Ethernet port.  Unfortunately, the grep command is pretty general and will match on anything in the iwconfig command's output having the letters "eth".
