i forgot to explain what is happening in kodi-dsplayer when you disable the lan card.

if i setup kodi with the lan card enabled and grant internet access to download add-ons everything is fine and dandy even if i disable the lan card.

problems arise when i leave the lan card on with internet access then install media. i dont use online scrapers and instead use local information only to which all my media is correctly ordered in a folder tree.
after kodi has built the library and i turn off the lan card is when kodi throws a wobbly. if i try and brows from the home bar to say movies then kodi throws a box saying 'cant find path.xml' or words to that effect.
also when the lan card is disabled kodi will hang if i try and shut it down or exit.

my solution is to setup kodi add the add-ons i need then turn the lan off or disable internet access only via static ip addy and no dns.
i then add my media with the scraper as local information only.
doing the above works perfect even if i enable/disable lan card or dns later on.
