Downloaded stable Stratux release:
https://github.com/cyoung/stratux/releases/download/v0.4r4/stratux-v0.4r4-293d0e74a8-10222015.img.zip
I use Linux, so after downloading, I extracted the image and then wrote it to the 8GB microSD card that came included with the Canakit.
sudo dd -if=\locationofimage\stratux...img of=\dev\mmcxblk0
Next I assembled the kit, inserted microSD, plugged in the WiFi dongle included with the Canakit, the DVB-T usb dongle and powered it up.
No WiFi AP showed up...uh-oh
Turns out the Canakit WiFi dongle isn't compatible with Stratux out of the box.
No Problem...
Connect pi2 to the network via Ethernet and ssh into it. Default username:pi password:raspberry
once logged in, I ran:
sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude -y upgradeThen:sudo cp /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf /etc/hostapd/hostapdORG.confsudo nano /etc/hostapd/hostapd.confdelete all contents and pasted this in:interface=wlan0ssid=stratuxhw_mode=gchannel=1macaddr_acl=0auth_algs=1ignore_broadcast_ssid=0then exit (ctrl+x) and save
issued a reboot:
sudo rebootand voila! It was alive.

Thank you. I am so very close now to getting this to work. After following everything above exactly I am facing yet one more FAIL.
[FAIL] Starting ISC DHCP server: dhcpd[....] check syslog for diagnostics. ... failed!
[FAIL] startpar: service(s) returned failure: sic-dhcp-server ... failed!
Thanks again for helping with the CANAKIT wifi problem.
