I just had a very frustrating night, and will reach out here hopefully for some help. Yesterday I was running XBMC 9.11 beta 2 (pretty sure on an Acer Aspire Revo 1600 with a Buffalo WLI-UC-GN USB wireless adapter. Everything worked fine and following this thread:

I was able to get my internet connection up and running on the usb dongle in about 10 mins. There was another thread that helped me out as well but I fear it was not saved after the lightning strike. Well....like an idiot I felt it was time to update to the release canidate of 9.11. After the install which went smooth except for the not being able to setup a network connection, I return to the cmd prompt and refollow the thread above. Its seems XBMC does not want to detect my wlan0. Previously it detected it as soon as I plugged it in. Is my version of XBMC missing something that was in a beta?
when i type in sudo ifconfig wlan0 up i get back wlan0: error fetching interace information: Device not found.
when i type in lsusb it does see usb wireless adapter.
Suggestions? Thank you.
