hello,
yesterday was a rainy day so I decided to reinstall my media center and change from windows + vlc to XBMC.
my system is a Terra Nettop 3100 (http://www.terra-it-welt.de/terra-pc-1/b...eedos.html)
first i played a little bit with the live cd, most things work fine except some 720p issues. i decided to install the system using the live cd, but during the setup my network card was not recognized, the hardware detection does not find any network card. using the live cd everything works fine (dhcp).
after some google searches there is evidence that i only have to add some lines for the network configuration to the etc/network/interfaces (ex http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Con..._XBMC_Live). but i am not sure if that is really everything i have to do - is there no need for a seperate driver for the network card? i haven't tried it right now because of lack of time and a wife that was not happy about my experiments
i have nearly no experience using xbmc / linux so i will be very glad for a detailed instruction or description how to enable the builtin network card.
thanks in advance!
