Is it possible to get the correct date and time on the link? It seems like it sets it to the epoch every time it's restarted (January 1, 1970 12:00)

You could probably set it up to auto-sync every time it connects to wifi. I'm not sure what the command to do that would be, probably some cron task.

Odd. I'd think that would work. Have you made sure you're root while running it?

I don't have a robot to test on so these are just the first things that come to my mind.

Definitely logged in as root.
