Code:

ip=:::::eth0:dhcp

Thanks for the suggestion but this option shows a nice blinking cursor on the screen probably since it's trying to start dhcp on eth0 while there's no cable there

also, you can add "wpa_supplicant" process to wait for, or dhclient (file /etc/default/xbmc)

check those options.

The first two suggestions here don't seem to do anything I have a feeling that this WAITFOR option is completely ignored because my 'sleep' also didn't do anything.

Then I checked the suggestions in the referred topic since the second option is already in /etc/init/xbmc-preload.conf (default is: start on stopping mountall and started networking). So I added the first option and this is working fine!

So now this line is as follows for me:

Code:

start on stopping mountall and started networking and net-device-up wlan0

If you need more stuff tested let me know.
Hope this helps for future updates of Xbian!
