[SOLVED] Missing ethernet driver in 1.1.0

[Bromf]

Hi AK...  Back in Jan 2017 I posted how Snakeoil 1.0.0 had installed without problems to my HP t520 Thinclient.

https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/Threa...586#pid586

I've simply upgraded the firmware at each prompt from then until now.

However, I purchased 2 x HP t620 Thinclients this week. Hardware and specs are the same as the t520 above but with some onboard audio options. Note both models have exactly the same networking hardware.

Anticipating their arrival I repurposed my old t520 as an Open-media-vault NAS overwriting Snakeoil.

The t620 arrived, I updated the bios, downloaded Snakeoil iso 1.1.0 and tried to install it.  It failed to write grub and then the installer crashed.
Suspecting a corrupt download I re-downloaded and burnt a new disk... same failure to install.

That's when I looked at the back and noticed no lights on the ethernet connection...strange... then a thought...
I downloaded and burnt the 1.0.0 iso and bingo! lights on and installed no problems.

So..it would appear that the 1.1.0 iso is missing ethernet driver r8169 for chip RTL 8111/8168/8411  Firmware rtl8168g-2_0.0.1 2/06/13
(details found from a running Ubuntu 20.04 desktop via USB stick. )

Any chance of updating the 1.1.0 iso to include it ? and to include it for the upcoming 1.2.0 ?

Many thanks,
Bob.
