Usually i can set the WIFI Area/CountryCode so my WIFI is found. There seems to be no place in XBian where i can do so.
i dont even understand how edit it using the command line. usually i simply change the wpa_supplicant.conf with a text editor, but it seems debian is not normally using this config?

Any ideas?

Hmmm, i'm able to use channel 13 w/o any problems.

You can edit /etc/network/interfaces to setup wlanX manually:

For example, here is my setup for wlan0 and static ip:

Code:

allow-hotplug wlan0
#auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-ssid MYSSID
wpa-psk MYWPA2KEY
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
address 192.168.1.21
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.10

or if you wish to put settings into wpa_supplicant.conf, it looks like this

Code:

allow-hotplug wlan0
#auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
address 192.168.1.21
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.10
wpa-iface wlan0
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Im running a raspberry pi 3b.
for the live of me i cannot get the xbian distro to scan and find my WIFI AP.
Using the latest Jessie (lite) on the same box with a different sd card there is no issue finding/connecting to the WIFI event directly using their raspi-config tool.

tried iw* tools and wpa_cli to scan and connect via cmd.line. My SSID is never shown/found.

is there any know issue with the PI3 and the WIFI setup for that? My AP is a Cisco Aironet which has no issues with this pi on a different os or any other hw i throw at it.

---

as soon as i switch my AP to a channel != 12 or 13 the WLAN interface comes up and gets an ip address via dhcp.
is it possible that the regulatory domain setting is somehow not obeyed by xbian?
iv'e done a "set country DE" on wpa_cli before scanning and my WIFI was on channel 13 --> Not listed
after setting the WIFI to channel 6 its scanned and found.
