Wish to try XBIAN but have big showstoper - my WiFi doesnt work
LED is still green, never blinks...
In settings wlan0 status is DOWN and ssid cannot be found
Same stuff works with OpenElec and Raspbmc with no issues...
Any idea how to make it running ??
By letting us know what modules/firmware the specific module needs.
Apologs I'm Linux noob... If you can tell me what deliver I'll do so
Im using latest build 1.0 Alpha 5 and standard config
Nothing more was installed by me
PS Just check Raspbmc -and wifi is working there as well...
- What wireless dongle do you have
- In XBMC -> Settings -> System -> XBian. Did you set Static to DHCP?
Yep. I enter static IPs
(Canot enter / select SID)
Also when observing dongle with other distribution - LED is blinking there (guess this indicates some transfer) but on XBIAN light constantly (no blinking from startup I meant)
So what wireless dongle do you have?

Quote:TL-WN721N (ath9k_htc device with htc_9271.fw file from http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw..._9271.fw); needs powered USB Hub (B) | works OOTB with Wheezy Raspbian (2012-08-16) connected directly to raspberry pi (B) and AP functionality tested with hostapd.
How to understand that? is that mean that it will work only with powered hub? or can work without it, conected directly to PI with Wheezy ?
Apologs but I'm not native English and not sure how to understand that (also I'm confused it is working with Raspbmc & OpenElec - not mentioned here...)
Thanks for helping!
That was meant for @
CurlyMo, it is the firmware
Let him test with the firmware first.
Ok got this .fw file - what next should I do ?
(sorry if sound as ignorant but Linux is still back magic to me...)
SSH in and execute the following commands:
Code:
sudo su
apt-get install firmware-atheros -y
cd /lib/firmware
wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/htc_9271.fw
sudo depmod -a
reboot
After the reboot try to setup the wireless dongle again.
Thanks!!! Will try this when back at home!
