Hi,
sorry, this question may sound dumb to people who are used to Linux, but I am completely new with Linux..
I am trying to set up a xbmc media center on an older laptop.
For this purpose I think XBMCbuntu could be perfect.
I have tried it (XBMCbuntu 11.0 beta 3) and playing music / video etc. is working without any problems.
But now I am stuck at configuring my wireless connection. i cannot use LAN with cable.
The laptop has an intel wireless pro 2200bg chip.
I have searched the internet for hours but haven't found anything helpful about setting up the wifi connection in XBMCbuntu.
I have tried to exit the XBMC screen and came to a ubuntu login screen, but I was not able to login. I tried xbmc as username and password but it says "incorrect password".
Can anybody give me instructions (for a linux newbie!) how to set up / activate my wifi connection? Do I eventually have to install an additional driver, if yes, how to get it without a working internet connection? How can I get to the underlying Ubuntu UI (if there is any)?
Any help is appreciated
