I can't figure out how to get a wireless connection working on Live, I've already searched around and tried a few different things, but nothing seems to be working.
The wireless card is supported (Linksys WMP54G)
I'm using XBMC Live 9.11
My router is encrypted with WPA
Help me please?
press "Ctrl-Alt-F2"
use the instructions seen

if you want your wireless connection to persist then you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file. Check this guide out its excellent :

I couldnt get DHCP to work, even though the wireless network was authenticated, so I ended up creating a static IP.
in the doc when the author mentions : wpa-psk <your_hex_key> [IMPORTANT: See "WPA-PSK key generation"] . you can just use your ascii password.
From the document this WPA config should work.
*****************************Sample configuration WPA1 & DHCP, ESSID broadcast enabled***************

wpa-pairwise TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk <your_hex_key> [IMPORTANT: See "WPA-PSK key generation"]
I got it working, thanks everyone!
