I am going to upgrade Willie to Ubuntu 12.04 and ROS groovy.  Wireless works fine, but there is no driver for the ethernet (ar8152)  Does anyone have an original Clearpath Turtlebot with a working hard wired ethernet port  and how did you get the driver loaded?  I tried to sudo apt-get   the linux-backports, but the don't seem to exist for Lucid.
 
 
PS for Camp,
 
I have two power strips, Snoopybot and a tablebot,  I'll bring them next week to the general meeting.

After installing the driver for the network ar8152 card  (Thanks Tyson), I was able to install 12.04  via the update manager in a mere 4 hours.  I then had to spend another hour getting networking working in 12.04.  After that It took about two hours to get groovy turtlebot-desktop up.  There was a problem with rosdep, but the pip install of wstool, rosdep, etc. held me up.  Still need some tuning on the network, if you enable wireless, the wired connection gets hosed.  So after about 8 hours, I can run roscore.   ROS is not for sissies.
 
I hope to test the new version on the Willie base tomorrow.

Does everyone have to have the same version (12.04, Groovy?) on their notebooks in order to work with the turtlebot?

Groovy yes, 12.04 no. Mixing ROS distributions is generally a bad idea, especially if mixing pre-groovy with groovy-and-later given all of the build system changes.

I have 12.04 and Groovy on my laptop and have all the turtlebot packages installed.
