Hi,

I've installed Android_x86 5.1 RC1 on an Atom Netbook, dual boot with WinXP 
Pro. The more I use it the more I like it. I use a VGA HD monitor. In 
terminal the command > busybox ifconfig, gives the correct description of 
the network, wlan0, lo and eth0 with static settings from before reset 
WinXP. I am not able to ping any IP addresses on the eth0 network even 
though it says that eth0 is UP. This does not conform with what I read for 
4.3 where one needed to patch the kernel. It seems to me that I should be 
able to make eth0 work. I have looked but not found anything in Google Play 
that makes Ethernet work. The port is 100 Mbps Duplex. Any ideas? Thanks in 
advance.
