Hi, am kinda new to all this, I've just bought myself a raspberry Pi 2 and installed Xbain connected it all up. My wifi Dongle / card is a TP Link TL-WN822N 300mps, when i scan the xmbc finds my network but when when i imput the key it just hangs and won't connect, I've tried openelec xmbc and that connects fine, anyone has any suggestions.

Kindest Regards

Neil
Can you try the ssh version of xbian-config and see if that works.

I've never seen this error on my RPi2. How did you install? Via Xbian Installer on Win/OSX/Linux or other.

If you still have no luck you will need to sen the output of dmesg via pastebin.com
Dmesg will tell more.
Try these steps to fix your Wi-Fi connection issue on XBian:

1. Check if Wi-Fi dongle is recognized:
Run `lsusb` in the terminal to confirm your TP-Link dongle is detected.

2. Install drivers:
Install the required Realtek drivers with:
```bash
sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek
```

3. Manually configure Wi-Fi:
Edit the Wi-Fi settings file with:
```bash
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
```
Add your network details and restart the service:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart networking
```

4. Simplify Wi-Fi password:
Ensure your password doesn't use special characters.

5. Update XBian:
Run `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` to update the system.

This should help resolve the issue!
