Yesterday I did some research on the wireless part.

I used the following commands on xbmc 9.11 live V14

Code:
sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant
sudo wpa_passphrase <ESSID> <your WPA password> > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0
ctrl -c
add the text below to /etc/network/interfaces:

sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.2.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
gateway 192.168.2.254
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

EDIT:
One of my sources: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo

The above is for using WPA security. WEP is more easy.

And Does it works right?

What about ignore the build-in wifi adaptor, that seems not to work fine, and use it with a wifi dongle?
