By default, xbmc live is set to eth0. The setting in xbmc is grey out, you need to configure /etc/network/interface. To verify if your network is supported run iwconfig, it will show if it detect your wireless card , it's properly on eth1. Then you need to configure /etc/network/interface for your card .. i.e essid,encryption.....

also to not have it grayed out and able to set it up you could
Code:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/xbmc
And append a sudo infront of xbmc --standalone

It's bad practice to give an application root privileges (make it admin) which is why we never do it. Atlantis+1 will hopefully have nonroot network configuration.

The kernel driver for bcm43xx likely wasn't included. l.capriotti will have to confirm. I can't remember if that one requires a microcode download or not, if so, I don't think we will be able to distribute it due to licensing.

Hi again,

My internel brodcom 43xxx did not show up with iwconfig, so i installed a externel usb wireless Linksys, and "configure /etc/network/interface for the LINKSYS usb .. i.e essid,encryption...", and now it works. "Woow"

If anybody has a clue about my internel Broadcom 43xx, please help

Thanks

If you can connect with the ethernet (eth0) device you can do;

1) aptitude update
2) aptitude install b43-fwcutter

That will download the correct microcode and firmware for your broadcom wifi.

After that you will then need to follow the above and configure it in /etc/network/interface (or with iwconfig)

Works for me (b43xx chipset)

Did the upgrade without faults, + restarted
But there is no broadcom 4312 in iwconfig, and my click led wireless button didn’t start.

Thanks anyway
