unrecognized NIC - derechteversus - 2010-12-26
Hi,
I installed xbmc live onto a usb stick including grub.
I installed it plugged into my laptop and was able to boot.
When I plug it into my HTPC I can boot too, but there is no network connection available.
The NIC is a Intel GBit and was recognized before, when I installed xbmc on a stick that was plugged into the HTPC.
This is what I get for dmesg at the htpc: http://www.pastebin.ca/2029785
This is what I get with ifconfig -a: http://www.pastebin.ca/2029779
I could install xbmc with the usb stick plugged into the htpc but I want to use the stick with various different pcs. What can I do to make XBMC recognize all different NICs automatically (as far as the kernel has drivers for them)?

look at line 622f networking is recognized and adapter installed
look at /etc/network/interfaces

it says:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I think Ubuntu hardcodes the interfaces on your system, so when you plug the USB stick into another system you'll have to reconfigure networking.

I just added several more
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
and so on and now it works
