RC2 Unable to select SSID

[roycejp]

Hi,

I too posted this issue in June 2014, but my thread was closed because of other posts (like this) reporting the same issue.

I upgraded to Xbian 1.0 RC-2 yesterday, and was disappointed that this issue had not yet been touched.
I mean, we are at RC-2 ? And this is a very basic & important issue.

I mean plugging in a WiFi Dongle is the first thing one would do, right ?

I know about ssh and other workarounds, but I was planning to gift this Ras-pi media player to an elderly relative and I cant expect her to SSH and scripts and stuff, so this issue is a deal breaker.

I'd like this media player to be used by lay people and not just Linux geeks.

I've waited for a couple of months for the devs to come up with the fix for this.
If there is none, its time to look at other distros.

If this issue is already solved (the proper way), please point me to the solution.

Thank You.
