Anyone have a Biostar TH61 mini-ITX motherboard? I just got mine last night, and I'm migrating from a Zotac GF9300 ITX motherboard.
In Windows7 it works fine, but I've tried Openelec and XBMCFreak's Eden Beta build and it seems that the LAN/Ethernet driver is very flaky. The LAN PHY is listed as Realtek RTL8111E - 10/100/1000 Controller, so it should be working just fine, correct? The adapter picks up a DHCP address pretty easily but network transfers are very hit and miss. Sometimes they work, sometimes not, and on large transfers it's like it's choking after a bit.
I installed ethtool, and it's reporting that everything seems to be working and that the adapter is autonegotiating at 1000Mb/FD as it should be. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this.
