Arduino with Wifly Shield

Ok, so there’s probably tons of these around but I can’t seem to get this working. I’ve tried almost all examples I can find online with arduino 1.0 and 0023 and still nothing. My hardware includes an Arduino Uno, Arduino Duemilanove and the Wifly Shield (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9954).

With the Arduino Transparent Terminal sketch which was retrieved from http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/158, I get the “Could not initialize bridge, locking up.” error and with the SpiUartTerminal sketch I get “Attempting to connect to SPI UART…” which was retrieved from viewtopic.php?f=13&t=21846

I honestly don’t know what else to get the SPI CMD mode to work, any tips would greatly be appreciated. At this point I’m solely focusing on getting the CMD to work in order to troubleshoot the rest. Thank you in advance!
