Perfect! Can you please put a RSS icon with the "new" link (without "/") sowewhere prominent on the webpage?

I'm not able to establish a wired network connection to my Kodi box. I tried two other devices on the same cable, which are connecting just fine. So the cable should be fine. After some research I got some output (MAC anonymized):

lspci -v

Is there maybe some module, that needs to be loaded or is the device itself defective? Suggestions are very welcome.

It's a Shuttle XS35GTV2 with a JMicronJMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

EDIT: Today, I booted Ubuntu from a USB drive with the same result.

EDIT2 (2017 Oct 13): On Windows 10 x64 the wired network adapter works. Is this maybe a driver / kernel / general linux issue?

EDIT3 (2017 Oct 14): Further searching and trial & error brought the solution:

SOLUTION:

- Connect via Wifi

- SSH connect to your kodi box

- create autostart.sh with:

nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

add the following content and save:

ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
exit 0

- Reboot your machine

This activates the network connection at boot time. Further reading:

[SOLVED] Jmicron JMC250 on a Sager NP8150

I just installed v7.90.010 ALPHA onto a newly bought SSD on my Shuttle XS35GTV2.
Since the first boot it shows the attached error messages. With the old SSD and version 7.90.009 it did not happen.

Is there anything I can or need to do about this? I searched the Interwebs, but did not find something useful.

Merry Christmas!
