After updating to the latest & greatest pidp8i by writing a fresh image to the SD card, I was unable to ssh pid...@pidp8i.local.  pidp8i@ip was needed.  Thanks to the All Knowing Google :-) I learned that the avahi daemon must be running for network discovery.  A little checking showed that it was not installed on my pidp8i.  After an

  apt-get install avahi-daemon

in a root window on the r-pi, I'm now able to ssh pid...@pidp8i.local and no longer have need to look up my IP on the access point each time.  (Running ssh-copy-id pid...@pidp8.local is helpful from your pc, too, to avoid typing your password every login.)  Hopefully this is useful to others in the same situation.

Thanks,
Mike Markowski
