Hi Everybody,

just installed XBMC Live to a Acer Revo 3700. I tried a couple of HOW TOs to try installing WLAN e.g. https://shantronix.wordpress.com/2011/01...00-part-2/, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 and http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=81858.
Finally no solution worked for, so installed from scratch and followed the first guide above. When i restarted the network manager i get the following output:

i'm using xbmc live 10.1 from Mar 9 2011 and installed it from a usb stick.

Anybodys has a suggestion for getting wlan working?

Thanks in advance

What you probably want is wicd.
Google it. There's a comprehensive howto on the forum.
