Anyway, I figured out why your BootMii files weren't working for me and now I feel silly. You have it set to VIDEO=PROGRESSIVE and it seems my television needs VIDEO=NTSC.

I didn't notice the ReadMe got updated with that. I was thinking DHCP wired connections should work out of the box too, but it doesn't seem to. I'll take a look at that Whiite's network script here in a bit.
Oh, you mean with ethernet dongle! My bad, I didn't think about that :)

To enable it, put in /etc/interfaces.d/eth0:

Code: Select all

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
I will add it to next release, thanks! :)

Slowly getting there. I can also verify now that 3.15.y works as well. Downloading the Linux kernel git now so I can start looking tomorrow at what stands in the way for 3.16.y.

That seems a Wheezy? Any patches needed to get to that kernel version? I'll merge them to my fork too :)

Looking forward to get the SDHC problem fixed. :)

Once I'm able to, I'll push out the 3.14.y-EOL and 3.15.y-EOL branches. Just waiting for the repository to download first. And yes, I'm still using Wheezy for right now, but Jessie does work too just fine.

The SDHC problem is definitively between v3.15.10 and v3.16.1 :( that refactoring of the core-of functionality somehow breaks it.

It should be easy to fix though, if it's in the probing/detection logic.
