Just bought a base unit for my home server setup but can't seem to get the Thomson Gateway to see the device on the network. All I can think of is that maybe the bios needs upgrading? Anyone have any ideas whether the above setup is supported by the v7 bios or not?
Regards

sudo lshw -C network
sudo ethtool eth0

(That eth0 parameter in the 3rd line may be different - see the result of the second line.)
You may want to try commandname -h where you don't recognise a command, to check that it's not destructive!

Tried this last night and was pretty hopeful it would work but nope!
The 2nd line indicated that the network card was disabled? The 3rd line couldn't find the program. I tried eth1 as that was shown on the screen for the adaptor but that didn't work either. I think the problem is with the disabled bit or Ubuntu just doesn't have the drivers for the controller or something. Anything more I can try?
Regards

Can't see a RTL-8100 report though.

This would allow you to check out the network card etc
Suggest latest LTS version - 7.04 I think.
I thought Ubuntu works for any Intel/AMD processor!

Good idea, though I think I will install another scsi drive with a new array I think as I have lots of spare hard drives . This will allow me an option of booting into windows should I need to at any point. I don't think ubuntu has a problem with older lan setups. I think the new lan chips have wake up call and all the rest of it thats causing problems.
Ubuntu does work with any processor but you have to use the right version to begin with. Even though my main computer is an amd 2400 ubuntu seems to see it as an i386 requiring a different kernel - or version - to run it. Just won't boot. I suppose my amd 2400 is old hat now but the system flies with 10,000 scsi hard drives and 2 GB of ram. I have some 15,000 rpm scsi hard drives available now bought from ebay for around £20 each I think it was and in perfect nick too. Unbelievable really when you consider how much these drives were new.

It has 3 x IDE (unused) + a single external 10K SCSI (Adaptec 29160) + wireless card
External box with power supply, disk, cable, 80-68 converter, LVD terminator courtesy of Ebay.
and it works with the full install on 7.04 - albeit rather slowly.
