Hey,

I was wondering, since XBMC Live is primarily made to be installed to a usb-stick (which you take with you all the time ofcourse to show off to your friends :) ), what would be the easiest way to have it connect to different wireless networks? ???

Right now, I just have my own network in /etc/network/interfaces.
But if you want multiple networks defined, you need to start 'messing' with wpa_supplicant (which I can not get to connect to a WEP-protected network, my WPA-protection is no problem).

If you just quickly want to show the capabilities of XBMC to someone, it's not very user-friendly to start adding his network in your wpa_supplicant.conf... :no:

In XBMC - Settings - Network - Network you can see all your network-settings, also the wireless stuff (SSID, WEP/WPA and Key).

Wouldn't it be possible to have these fields editable, so you can change networks in this screen? That would be very, very nice! :grin:
