Installed Bamt 1.2, using 8GB USB stick, 2 x Sapphire r9 280x cards - booted up no problem, but no ethernet connections configured...added one via the right hand menu, nothing doing..set network conf manually to set static address, no results. I am missing something, anyone throw some light on it?..Maybe it's something simple I missed. The same machine was running xubuntu, cgminer etc from USB with no problems before..so not hardware related..

Does BAMT not install with dhcp to pick up a network connection?.

And I did a quick check on drivers..I think 1.2 doesn't have the drivers needed for 280x cards, so I have to download them...but no good without ethernet...


UPDATE: seems the mobo needs an update of the lan driver..
