After much work I was finally able to get not only my wireless (Asus USB-N13) working, but also connecting to my hidden, WPA2 AES encrypted wireless network by using WICD. However, my system doesn't seem to have the wireless working on startup, so after booting I have to get it started, then restart the WICD services, then finally restart XBMC before it'll connect to my network. Here's the commands I'm having to run:
modprobe rt2870sta
echo "0b05 1784" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0
service wicd stop
service wicd start
/etc/init.d/xbmc-live restart
I've poked around looking for various ways to have the system do this automatically on boot, but of course none of them list the best way to do this. In particular I'd like to run these commands before XBMC starts and not bother restarting it at all. Any help is appreciated.
