How Do I Get Wireless to Work on Installed XBMC?
#1
I have XBMC and Windows 7 dual booted on my laptop right now, and I can't seem to find how to use a wireless Internet connection on XBMC.

Also, since I'm here, there's no point in making another thread; How do I add media from a separate partition?

Wireless:
You basically have to configure it manually from command line in linux.
I find that wicd-curses is a good tool for this. A guide exists in the forum.

I am working on an add-on that will do it from xbmc GUI. If you feel up to it you can test it but I prefer if you a willing and able to post a debug logg and some details in case of problems.

Partititions:
You have to disable nodiskmount in grub or mount the partition manually in fstab. Not very hard, search for instructions.

I am actually working on an add-on for this too, but the same willingness to test is needed.

Thanks for the help again. I tried and installed your app, but it wouldn't install, I'm not sure if I have a connection or not, as I didn't while install XBMC linux. I'm just going to use the Windows XBMC for now. Ill bookmark this for future purposes though.

Ok, you need have internet while installing, thats the moment 22 am afraid.
It could be helped and in this guide they show you how

It is a bit complicated though and I hope to take care of that in future versions but that will take while since I hope to get it into the official repository and it is not allowed to include binaries in the add-on.

Okay. I hope your app gets into XBMC. XBMC linux needs to be tweaked a bit more. Things like wifi and partition detection should be automatic or at least easy to do.

What wifi card have you got, and what security do you use on you router (eg wpa)
Look at http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/xbmc-ion/module/8
For a guide with wpa security.
Just make sure you have installed your wifi card properly
