Legacy Bios.


Ok, I just tried the 32 bit version on the newly arrived HP Thinclient.
Boots to the installer but no network.

Lshw shows a Broadcom BCM57780 ethernet but Snakeoil fails to recognise it.

Just to check, as this is new hardware to me, I tried Volumio x86 from a usb drive and that runs fine and uses the Broadcom BCM57780.

Any workaround you can suggest I am very willing to try

BCM57780 is already supported in the 0.1.5 ISO. Unfotunately this chipset is a bit iffy. Volumio 86 probably works better because all the drivers are loaded as modules instead of statically compiled like Snakeoil is doing.

Unfortunately being a static kernel means the usual workarounds don't work. What you can do is try and plug and unplug the network cable and see if that works.

If that doesn't work it means I have to build a new custom kernel for you to apply.
