For those of you having the issue with the LAN/Wireless connectivity (i.e. ATV2 will not scan for networks or pick them up if you enter details manually - like SSID/WPA key etc.) after following brownbear's method for the JB, I had the same issue first time round.
I restored the ATV2 back to the original Apple f/w in iTunes ('Restore' without pressing shift) and ran through the process again from the top. Second time round - all gravy!
Used SSH to get XBMC installed (and Nitotv but that's of limited use atm.), spent most of the evening waiting for the XBMC to get the scrapes for the meta data and now.....have a great little media streaming unit connected to my TV with all the films/TV series fully populated with cover art, film details etc.
Mr brownbear1984, you are a legend! I have the pleasure of working with the guy and getting all the juicy updates via text or phone call (even if it was at 1am! Dude get some sleep!) I can vouch for the hard work he's put into this and it has certainly paid off.
Just watch someone bring out a full Windows only teathered JB next week though ;o)
Nice one mate, couldn't have done it without your help!
