Hey Everyone, i loved the combination of the Acer Revo and XBMC Live that i want to install it on other TVs in my house now.
Unfortunately, the next TV i wanted to hook it up to has no ethernet close to it. That leaves me with wireless as the only option. The Revo 3610 says it has 802.11 b/g/n, and i have a N router so i think that would be the only option for streaming HD content. Unfortunately, i've read some things about it not supporting full N speeds (draft spec only). My question is, has anyone set this up yet?
Does the newest version of XBMC Live have the necessary drivers to use the built in wireless?
If so, has anyone tried it? how has playback been?
I'm not exactly a Ubuntu expert so i'm hoping there's simply an installable version that can get me more or less up and running but i can install packages and such if necessary. Not sure i want to pick up the machine if the hardware isn't fully supported. Thoughts?
