I'm not entirely clear on why it requires a WiFi adapter? Can you not use the wired connection? Module writing looks pretty nifty though, can't wait to give it a try over the weekend.

Yes you're right, it works absolutely fine over a wired connection, WiFi adapter not required.

this might be a stupid question but HOW! :) after some troubles I finally got Jasper to boot up and first thing he does is complaining he can't connect to a network. So I connect my laptop via ethernet to the pi and try to reach the configuration site http://192.168.1.1:80000/cgi-bin/index.cgi but it just won't connect.

Might be something ridiculously obvious but I'm a total n00b when it comes to the pi...or linux in general :/

How are you able to achieve this. My install says its 'attempting to connect with -SSID-' and fails, even with the wifi adapter removed and I've confirmed it's got an ethernet issued IP address.
