Hi!

I am trying to get my MSI USB US54SE II stick to work with XBMC Live installation (USB).

What I already know/need:
NdisWrapper 1.9 (Ubuntu 7.1 right?)
Ralink RT73 (WinXP rt73.inf)

And I need to blacklist rt73usb, rt2x00usb, rt2500usb

So I login to the underlying OS and then?
Here is where I need your help. As I am fairly new to linux giving me a hand and telling me the needed steps/commands to achieve the above would be nice!!!

Thanks for any help!

google is your friend.

Im also a linux newbie but by googling i have ressolved most of my issues.
Remember that the live distro is based on ubuntu/linux. this means that you have alotta info on the internett waiting for you. there are alotta ubuntu and linux forums around. So generic linux help like this you should just search other places for.

and l.capriotti posted this on a thread I started to get encryption working.

you may want to have a look here.

The US54SE II is supported by default "all I had to do" was to edit the
/etc/network/interfaces file.

Hm,

ONE Problem still exists. I am able to FTP to the xbmc PC and I am able to use putty.

BUT I am NOT able to retrieve any weather info or do other internet lookups within the xbmc

my interface config looks like this:

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.14
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid pdxwLAN
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto WPA
wpa-pairwise TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk *******

#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

#iface eth0 inet static
#address 192.168.0.100
#netmask 255.255.255.0
#gateway 192.168.0.1

try and disable wpa and any protection on your router. then remove all the wpa stuff from your config. if this works it's something wrong with wpa settings.

also try and use dhcp instead of static ip. if you want a static ip for your box reserve a IP for it trough your router.

thanks, got it working

SOLVED!

Switching from static to dhcp did the trick.
