Hi, Just upgraded from 9.11 to Dharma Beta 1. I'm running on a Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L motherboard that has an integrated Atheros AR8131 chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) for LAN connections.
Using the Live CD to boot into XBMC everyting is fine, network card is detected and I can browse network shares as normal.
When using the same Live CD to install XBMC onto the internal drive the network card isn't detected during installation. The network configuration stage fails, continuing results in XBMC being installed with no network connection.
Weird thing is I could probably fix this if I could get to the terminal but it’s also broken, switching to the terminal results in a blank screen.
After a few hours searching I decided best thing to do was ask the experts... after lurking around since 8.10(Atlantis) I thought I should finally register.
