Description William Kenney 2013-09-28 05:41:36 CEST
Neither the new M4A3 Live-DVD 32-bit KDE nor the install from it
seems to be able to connect to my eth0. Testing is on real
hardware. Hardware is:

Intel, P4 530J 3.0 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2, LGA 775
GigaByte  GA-81915G Pro F4  i915G  LGA 775  MoBo
 Marvel Yukon 88E8001 Gigabit LAN
 Intel High Def Audio, Azalia (C-Media 9880) (snd-hda-intel)
 Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel 82915G)

Same platform works fine with M3. Removable hard drive system.
I have attached the ifconfig from both the M4A3 and M3

Unfortunately I won't be able to get back to this until
Sat evening, California time.

Reproducible:

It appears, at least on one test here, that the network connection works when you
are testing inside VirtualBox.
Comment 3 James Kerr 2013-09-29 17:12:01 CEST
Are you aware that network device names have been changed on new installs?

I think that this is still wip.

Yep, I was ok in M4A2 now not ok. This is probably a dup of 11101.
Why no problem in Vbox?

M4A3 64-bit Live-DVD on my Dell laptop works just fine
with the wired eth0 connection. iso is on a USB stick.
Comment 6 William Kenney 2013-10-01 18:14:16 CEST
I've a successful install, and eth0 connect, using the M4A3 Classic Installer,
KDE 32-bit and the hardware described in Description above.
Comment 7 William Kenney 2013-10-01 21:39:45 CEST
