Kernel support beyond 3.8 is improving every day so you should search and consult the BeagleBone Black support group for the latest information on kernel stability and feature support if you want to use a newer kernel. You can, but you need to be careful because later kernels right now don't support the same functionality, like device tree overlays, as the 3.8 kernel. If you're a more experienced Linux user you might be wondering if you can upgrade the Linux kernel to a later version like 3.14 or 3.15 to get more reliable WiFi drivers. I'll show later in the guide that a simple script to reset the wireless adapter on boot greatly improves reliability of Realtek and other adapters on the BeagleBone Black. In particular you might experience problems like the WiFi adapter randomly not connecting to a wireless network on boot. Out of the box the 3.8 kernel seems to have problems with popular WiFi adapters, like the Realtek-based adapters in the Adafruit store.

Since WiFi drivers are typically included in the Linux kernel source, running an old kernel means running old and potentially buggy WiFi adapter drivers.

The BeagleBone Black's official Debian image uses an old version 3.8 of the Linux kernel compared to more recent versions like 3.15+. Unfortunately the choice of WiFi adapter for the BeagleBone Black is a little more complicated compared to other Linux boards like the Raspberry Pi. Be sure to read the BeagleBone Black wiki's list of known working WiFi adapters and consider using a device from that list. To setup WiFi with your BeagleBone Black you'll need a USB WiFi adapter that is compatible with the BeagleBone Black's Debian operating system.

This guide will show you the basics of accessing the BeagleBone Black with SSH.
