rtl8187 wifi dongle on XBMC live - fidoboy - 2009-07-24
I'm trying to get XBMC Live working on my machine (i'm switching from windows xp version) but i'm unable to get my WIFI USB dongle working on XBMC Live. How can i add the necessary modules? The device seems to have a rtl8187 chipset (It's a Thomson TG123G device). Can anyone help me to get this working?
many thanks in advance, regards

Ah, good point. You'll need to download it and save the .deb package to an external drive (usb key).
Then install it via terminal.
