[SOLVED] Missing ethernet driver in 1.1.0

[Bromf]

No hurry...I have a working Snakeoil on the hardware.. just giving a heads up in case others were having the same errors...
Enjoy Liz's Birthday !!!  

Hi, hopefully you have two USBs? Can you:
1. create one USB with 1.0.0, and the other with 1.1.0.
2. Copy out \casper\vmlinuz and \casper\initrd.img of 1.0.0
3. Copy the two files above to the same folder in the 1.1.0 USB

Now boot up the 2nd ISO. Does it work then?

Worked exactly as instructed and networking was correct.
Installed 1.1.0 !
Thanks AK !  I will be listening tomorrow night.

2 quick questions... I may be recalling wrongly though at some point I thought you had rebuilt Snakeoil using 18.04 base ??  this install shows 16.04 ...
EDIT..found the instructions for manual upgrade and running now... :-)   That completed well and afterwards the only glitch was having to install missing cifs-utils.

And having just set up an OMV NAS (using samba) I find that I need to replace the ip address in Snakeoil sources each time I boot the NAS.
My Ubuntu desktop pc adapts to each new ip from the NAS but Snakeoil only looks for the last one. ?
Perhaps I should give the NAS a reserved address or is there some way to have Snakeoil resolve the hostname ?
