Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-package-kernel3.6.11
sudo reboot

And replug the USB adapter, does it then automatically reboots as well?

Yes it still does reboot, however, after I ran the above code and logged back into SSH, I ran uname -a and saw that it still said:

Code:

Linux xbian 3.6.7+ #1 PREEMPT Fri Nov 23 12:33:18 CET 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux

3.6.7+, not 3.6.11. Is this to be expected? It does say +, but I'm not sure whether the update worked if it's not explicitly stating 3.6.11

Interestingly, I checked my /etc/network/interfaces file and it has the following:

Code:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-ssid "BigPondXXXX"
wpa-psk "5XXXXXXXXX2"
wireless-power off

Note where it says wireless-power off, is that normal?
