Title: Usb Eth0
Post by: bam on July 30, 2005, 04:21:29 am

Tried installing the complete package" from Meanies site, says cant find the eth0 connection(asks if the cable is plugged in)

Then tried installing separately, the rtl8150 driver then the netswitcher_lite.ipk(Meanies), same error message.

now the cable is plugged in, and has a net access on it. Any ideas as to why? had it working once, but boo-booed the Z then had to restore (from 7 days ago), that'll teach me to backup before bloddy messing around. its now on a post-it note on my desk shelf in front of my face, so I wont forget.

So any ideas would be great.
