Long story short: building a GeexBox media center for a buddy of mine with an old NVidia NForce4 based computer (Abit KN8 motherboard) and the one thing I am unable to get working is the integrated network.
I do have two wifi USB dongle, but both of those are problems in linux anyway (ralink 2×00 and one that is worse).
I am fairly familiar with linux- don’t use Windows or Mac at all- but have never messed with GeexBox until now.
The board will not boot from a usb stick but has no problems with a LiveCD. HDD install (on an old ssd) is the long-term plan, and I have it running from a hard drive now.
Any assistance that I can get is appreciated.
Thanks

dmesg ?
for ralink, maybe add the firmware : http://download.geexbox.org/releases/extra/i386/ralink-firmware_r13f5008494-1_i686.opk
(switch to vt2 and do “opkg install ralink-firmware_r13f5008494-1_i686.opk” )
if you really want to boot from usb, you can test “plop” http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#runcd
it can access usb and boot an usb stick (not all the time)
