I am having the worst time trying to get my upstairs computer to get wireless working. Before I put xbmcbuntu on it, the wireless worked fine in Windows on my Dell Latitude 5500. Now I have wiped the hard drive and put Xbmcbuntu on it. I fiddled with it for awhile, read around on some forums for answers, couldn't find anything to get it connected besides a wired connection. Well, a wired connection would be nice if I could get one to reach from my router to the media PC, but that's quite a distance (and I don't want to be drilling holes just to get one up here).
So, I tried to us OpenELEC and had worse luck. Whenever it displayed on my TV, it only showed the top left corner of the image. I tried to mess with resolution, but it just crashed. I would prefer to use Xbmcbuntu on it. If anyone has any clue how to get my wireless card to work without hooking up to a physical connection, that would be awesome. My main reason I can't just take it down to my router is the display on the Latitude 5500 doesn't have a backlight, making it almost impossible to see anything on it. Hopefully someone can walk me through this, thanks!
