Wireless Network Problem on XBMC Autoboot
#1
Here is the problem:

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04, XBMC Dharma.
For Wifi I installed wcid and wpa_supplicant and configured it for connecting automatically.

When I autoboot into Gnome Session wifi connects just fine. When I log out and login to XBMC session, wifi connects fine too.

But when I autoboot into XBMC session, wifi does not connect.
However, when I log out from XBMC and then login into XBMC again, wifi works again.

Can anyone help?

Here is the content of my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1

network={
ssid="mySSID"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk=myPSK
}

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

it works fine for me with wicd. You can of course put a delay in runXBMC.

How do I do that?

After a while XBMC finds the connection. But when I have database update enabled at start, the connection is not on. So a delay would be good.
