There are more applications for WiFi than loading software onto your Pandora. Web browsing, checking your email, remote administration, etc...

Even thou you have a point. Some of us would like to have it working as sold to us. Im not in a rush to have wifi on it right now. If and when they have a solution ill be happy. Till then I still love this little machine

Yeah, I have a computer for all that. I don't game on anything but a Pandora. Enjoy the games while the problem is dianosed. I know the Pandora's capibilties, but its for gaming to me.
I'm not complaining. Apart from there being no point in complaining, I understand, and am trying to be... is philosophical the word? ... about it. Yeah, it's annoying and inconvenient, but at least it's in my possession, even if only as an oversized Game Boy right now.

To me I'd rather have TV Out capability than WiFi.
well... i am too lazy to be playing around with the sd... or cables. I preffer to download the stuff straight to the place were i am going to use. even if it is too slow.
And in the other hand, i wanted a pandora and not a wiz, cause the wifi, as main reason.
For me i can pack back in the same box. And send back when you want. I will wait until you decide what to do with it. Cause of course if there is a software solution, is much better than be going around with the post.... i told already that i hate the post system in spain?

Worst case .. a USB wifi adapter (though getting one with a working driver is a pita, its certainly doable.)

I'm glad this was caught now seeing as I'm waiting for mine to get shipped. Close call! I assume this is going to slow things down considerably until there's a fix. Are you still going to be able to ship premiums within 7days or is it going to take a little bit longer since so many units are defective?

So all of them passed the automatic wifi test you are supposedly doing?
Nope. AFAIK, those ten slipped through as accidentally a card had been used that didn't do the WiFi test.
I got 5 of these boards here and they don't pass.
So, when should I send mine back?
That's something you need to ask your distributor, so basically openpandorasales@gmail.com if you ordered from Craig / UK.
Okie-dokie, thanks very much.
Oh, I just bought a USB WiFi adapter for it, 802.11n. I've never used one of those before, is there a trick to it, or do I just plug it ion?
I hope this doesn't mean that the one that is on its way to me after an RMA will need to be RMA'ed again. If so, I'm going to at least have to use it a bit without the wi-fi before I send it back, as the first one I couldn't really use at all. Well, maybe mine will not be one of the bad ones (yeah, because things always work out that well for me 
).

Thank you Craig and Ed for the important messages/heads up.

It turns out that it isn't even 10 units now, maybe 8.
And premium units are still shipping, we're just doing an extra test to check for this issue.
