It was working fine from Linux.It is a Sun machine with onboard nVidia ethernet. well nvidia ethernet chips are well... specific. some works SOMEHOW, some not at all. mine works about 1 minute after starting, then it stops ;) (nve driver) > So I connected a USB to ethernet adapter.It works.But I had to reboot the computer.It would a little nice if setup would re-probe devices. exit just setup and get back. kernel do autoattach, just setup scans devices once.
