Heyas,

So, after wrestling with /etc/network/interfaces for some time, and a lot of help from - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 i have finally been able to get my wireless card working in XBMC live.

I then attempt to follow the instructions in the later post describing adding a symbolic link to the startup sequence and my problems really start. after reboot XBMC loads up, and around 30seconds later the screen goes to static, what i assume is a video card crash.

I know exactly 0 about linux/ubuntu so im just blindly following the below instructions -

HOWTO: Wireless Security - WPA1, WPA2, LEAP, etc.
Some users reported (including myself) that the network has to be restarted every time after startup... Apparently this is a bug.

Here is a workaround that helps restart the network during boot so that one does not have to do it manually after logging on to the system.

Create startup script:
Quote:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/wireless-network
Add this line & save file:
Quote:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
Change permission (executable):
Quote:
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/wireless-network
Create symbolic link:
Quote:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/wireless-network /etc/rcS.d/S40wireless-network
[Note: You may have to choose a boot sequence other than S40.]

Restart...

so pleeeeease, if you can point this dumbass in the right direction u will be my personal saviour
