Is a waysmall STUART and a serial null-modem cable needed with a netstix or etherstix configuration for console access?
(note: netstix boards = netDUO, netCF and netMMC)

Yes, if console access is desired in any configuration, including a netstix or etherstix setup, then a waysmall and a null-modem cable is required. Bluetooth and usbnet are started but the ethernet connection is not brought up by default on boot.

Once a serial connection is established, add

auto eth0

to

/etc/networks/interfaces

to bring up eth0 after a reboot.

Note that the tweener board does not fit on a connex when a netDUO board is connected on the other side.
