I recently got an Acer AspireRevo R3610 and installed XBMC using the XBMC Live 9.11 repack (r26018) from a USB stick. XBMC installed with only one problem: the network could not be configured.
I've been looking through posts on this forum for ways to set up networking but nothing has helped. I tested the cable and it works fine on other computers.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ifconfig:
/etc/network/interfaces:
(note: obviously also tried using dhcp here, didn't work)
