Using an Ethernet-USB adapter...

  • Hi,

    I'm using an android stick without RJ45, so I'm trying to use a ethernet-usb adapter.

    The adapter is correctly detected by LE, sometime I do get an IP address from dhcp...

    But LE is freezing instantly when I really want to use the network :(

    From my ubuntu the device is shown has:

    Any ideas?

    According to that thread it's a USB 1.1 adapter. It'll be useless for pretty much anything these days.

    Unless you're streaming something that's really low bitrate, I suggest you get a different adapter.

    I have this: 112541143662 and it works wonderfully in LE.
