2010-09-28, 04:39 (This post was last modified: 2010-09-28, 04:50 by angrycamel.)

I recently ordered this box from Newegg with 2GB RAM and a 4GB Patriot USB stick to install to. After installing XBMCFreak from a 2GB USB stick to the final install home of the Patriot stick I was up and running without a HDD. Next came the configuration.

Most everything was fine thanks to the fine folks who have posted the tutorials on here and the wiki. (thanks by the way). However despite the past two nights of tinkering, I was unable to get WEP (64 bit or 128 bit) to connect successfully. It would always crap out during the authentication.

I was first working from the tutorials and editing /etc/networking/interfaces manually but after following every tutorial google could find and still coming up without a connection (blue wifi light would blink but never connect) I found a post about installing wicd and running wicd-curses. After getting that installed and setup, it too could not connect, always getting stuck on authentication. SO I knew it must not be something I was doing wrong at this point since there are many praises to the wicd name out there for working miracles for wireless setup.

I finally caved and logged into my router (provided by Verizon for our FioS internet service) and setup WPA2 instead of WEP. Low and behold, my new ZBOX connected right away and I now have wireless!

So is it just me, or is WEP troublesome for other folks too?

------

Correction. I guess I spoke too soon. I just decided to do a reboot to make sure everything stayed connected afterwards and it didn't unfortunately. I jumped to CLI and started wicd again. It will not connect now. It shows a lot of hex data separated by slashes just before the Authenticating... message on the bottom of the screen but then after a few minutes it comes back and just says "not connected"

Any thoughts?

Integrating with XBMC through the JSON-RPC interface?
