apologies for sounding like a complete dunce but I was hoping that somebody could help with my xbmc/wifi problem.

I have a n300 wireless adapter and have installed Network-Manager through the add-ons. The problem I am having is that when I attempt to configure the network I am presented with one screen offering me the chance to Disable ipv6 (in NEW connections only). I have not been able to select my network nor see a list of available networks.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks

The ipv6 setting is a default value for all new connection until you change it. I do not offer settings per connection other then pass key.
(due to too much work making the gui). Disable it or not and the proceed to add connections.

I'm using a Raspberry pi (Raspbmc RC4) with the latest update (it uses network-manager-0.9.4) and I get the same as SkankArmor in that I can see the list of networks, and it appears as though everything goes ok, but the network is never connected. I've uploaded my logs here:

Here is an interested extract from the xbmc.log session:

Not sure. I just tested on Ubuntu 12.04 where 0.9.4 is default and it works fine.
I need to test it myself when I can find the time. Have you tested the same wifi adaptor on the same wifi on xbmcbuntu?
(To exclude the possibility that the problem is unrelated to pi)

I have the exact same stack trace.

My Wifi dongle (ASUS N10) works fine on my Raspberry Pi with Raspbian.
On Raspbmc I have installed Network-Manager (0.1.4) from XBMC's interface.
When I try to enter the WEP key, it first says it's not properly formed, when I enter the hexadecimal version of the key, it pretends to do something, but nothing appears on the GUI. When I go back to the first screen of Network-Manager, I see the access point I tried to access to with a "a" in front.
If I look at xbmc.log I see the same trace as above (exact lines).

Edit: I changed my access point encryption to WPA/PSK and it now works (however Raspbian didn't mind WEP). However, since both my router and some of my wifi devices don't handle WPA properly, I would like to keep using WEP so it would be good if the problem mentioned in the stacktrace could be fixed

Im a Linux newb.. I have been trying all day to get my ICIDU N300 Dongle to work, but without luck .. At first i tried from terminal but that only seem to have screwed up things so i did a fresh install and tried your Network Manager .. I cant get it to work.. The ICIDU N300 dongle runs with a Atheros chipset and those drivers are allready included in RaspBMC .. If i use Terminal i can also use "nmcli dev wifi list" and see a list of SSID's .. But if i use your tool to do the same i dont get anything.. The list is just empty.. Sad

EDIT:
Did a fresh re-install of RaspBMC again and this time it worked.. Wierd.. Smile

Hello,

I have installed Networ-manager on ubuntu 12.04 minimal install.
Network Manager add-on is not listing my wireless connections

Try to add this to: /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla:

Action=org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.*;org.freedesktopesktop.DBus.*

And also add xbmc user to the netdev group

But it did not help.

Here the Debug log:

Not an easy way

I have now tested the raspxbmc beta and not only does it work fine, it is pre-installed!
Not sure if there was never an issue or Sam has fixed somthing in the os. If so thanks!

jesterod · 2012-12-16, 10:17

i dont like the rasbmc its buggy more so than openelec but less so than xbian

vikjon0 · 2012-12-16, 10:31

the forum merged my two posts. The second part was not directed to you.
raspxbmc is debiean based while openelec is not. you need to get dbus & nm 0.9 to work to start with. I have no clue how to do that.

This is correct. Thanks for point this is out. The problem is that python-dbus is missing.
I have emailed the developer of xbmcbuntu

Meanwhile you can add python-dbus and it will work

ghstinshll · 2013-01-05, 07:39

I just installed XBMCbuntu Frodo from my thumb drive. Have laptop on ethernet pulling from my server fine, but can't get wifi to connect in Network Manager. (used programs, get new to acquire). Seems that both of my SSIDs jsut keep asking me for the key - every time I type it, it comes back asking for the key. Maybe I am encountering this problem because Frodo isn't full prod yet?

ghstinshll · 2013-01-05, 08:03

to follow up:

I have gotten Frodo w/ Network Manager 0.1.4 to join my non-encrypted guest wireless, but my private wireless isn't joinable... How can I uninstall the current version of network manager and install a previous version? I read on here how to hit CTRL ALT F1 to get out of the GUI but need guidance from here.

vikjon0 · 2013-01-05, 10:42

The xbmc network manager only uses the underlaying ubuntu system, it will not help to get another version.

Exit xbmc and login to the xbmcbuntu desktop. Try to connect with the desktop (gnome) network manager.
If that does not work you need to change the settings on the router.
