    hi, just installed nOS on a 32gb sd card and loaded it up on the rpi. everything worked great, except i have no internet connection. network is fine at boot, if im in config stage i can see the pi on my network, but as soon as it gets to the desktop, theres no internet. cant seem to force wicd to connect to wired ethernet either.

    stumped.

    figured it out.

    i was trying to find the pi's mac address to see if my router could find the pi using

    $ sudo ifconfig eth0

    which returned a device not found error. so i tried eth1, and it returned a hit, including the mac address. but the mac wasnt needed afterall.

    the network port has been configured by default as eth1, but i remembered seeing in wicd it is set to eth0. i changed the setting (wicd -> preferences -> general tab) to eth1 and it fired up straight away.

    Yep, the raspberry pi's default ethernet connection is on eth1 where wicd looks on eth0. I have updated the default configuration to use eth1 in wicd.

    Hi, trying both nos-infinity-1014-rpi and nos-0115-rpi. Everythi is OK except ethernet connection. sudo ifconfig eth0 and eth1 showing error.
    Any suggestions, please?

      From other reports of this many connections are coming up on the eth2 series. If you change the Wired Interface in the Wicd Network Manager preferences to eth2 you should get a connection.

      For the bug report see https://sourceforge.net/p/nos/tickets/30/
