Arduino Ethernet Board R3 with WIFI -

i have been playing around arduino 2 days now, new this, have problem: wifi shield wont work arduino ethernet r3. got them sparkfun:

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11361 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11287

and every time try run code:

i wifi shield not present. ideas on how connect it?

thank you!

the products listed seem redundant. specifically, ~/11361 all-in-one arduino dev. board + ethernet no wireless (i.e. ethernet connection via cable), while ~/11287 wifi shield used on generic arduino board , connects internet.

the problem might using 11287 shield on 11361 leads conflicts? don't know, link http://arduino.cc/en/reference/wifi has following comment:

the wifi library similar ethernet library, , many of function calls same.

which makes me little suspect.

try shield (11287) on standard arduino board.
