Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - Harald654 - 20th Aug, 2016 09:43 AM Hello, for better networkspeed i use a gigabit lan adapter (USB3) on my RPI2 (transfer speed about 18 mb/s). With Raspbian or OSMC the adapter works direktly after plugin, but i have problems with xbian. After plugin i can change the ethernet port in the xbian settings from eth0 to eth1, but the status of eth1 is alwasy down and i cant exess to my network wjth the adapter Does anyone know a solution for the problem? Greetings, RE: Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - rikardo1979 - 20th Aug, 2016 06:06 PM try to login over SSH or if you have USB keyboard just exit Kodi from within power menu Than once you in the terminal, just do Code: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces when prompted for password type raspberry , default password Than look for following lines which has 0 as default Code: auto eth0 lo and change it to Code: auto eth2 lo Im not sure why it use 2 instead of 1 (or any other number?) but this works for me (maybe our clever developers can answer this? ) Once you edit the lines, press Ctr+X to exit. When prompted type Y and enter, which save the file Now just type Code: sudo reboot Please let us know if this helps RE: Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - Nachteule - 20th Aug, 2016 08:59 PM @Harald654 I do not have an GBit USB adapter, having only an 100MBit one Before I test it, I have one question: Is the onboard Ethernet configured and is this link up?

I mean you plug your USB LAN adaptor and than you head over to XBian config from within the Kodi menu It gives you the option under System/Network to switch between eth0, eth1, eth2... Than when I have tried select eth2 which was showing status "DOWN" and when I have tried exit the menu there was only an error message at the bottom Yeah, I am sorry but I did not have an debuging on so I could not checked the logs Question is, why it does not work as on other systems, just plug and play? I mean is easy to manually edit these files and make it working, if even I could do it But it would be nice if it just works RE: Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - Nachteule - 21st Aug, 2016 11:08 PM Hey, what happened here?

Now all new network devices not already configured in /etc/network/interfaces are added by udev rule and helper script New package xbian-update (in staging repo) does this part RE: Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - rikardo1979 - 22nd Aug, 2016 12:14 AM (21st Aug, 2016 11:08 PM)Nachteule Wrote: Hey, what happened here? not sure?

Quote:Is the onboard Ethernet configured and is this link up?yes for testing i use now a fresh installation of Xbian (with noobs), now eth1 (GBit USB adapter) are showing as up in the XBian setting. but when I select eth1 nothing changes, and when i re-open the settings eth0 ist still set als network (for testing i habe both, eth0 and eth1 permanently connected by Lan). The Kodi log says: Code: 14:20:42 1011.348145 T:1744548784 NOTICE: XBian : XBian-config started If i change in the network settings the typ from THCP to statisitc (whether eth0 or eth1) i get an error massage. Kodi log: Code: 14:23:15 1164.310913 T:1744548784 NOTICE: XBian : XBian-config started Greeting, H. RE: Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - Nachteule - 18th Sep, 2016 06:23 AM You can ignore those warnings, but there are still issues in XBian-config: Network is not restarted after change of settings (code is there but is not executed), only settings in /etc/network/interfaces are written. Seems that this confuses XBian-config completely Have to investigate this issue next days. For the moment it is easier to modify settings directly in file /etc/network/interfaces and reboot Pi after changes has been done.

Package xbian-package-config-shell and xbian-package-config.xbmc have to be updated. FYI, do not set gateway IP on both network devices (this is not allowed). To omit gateway parameter, set this parameter to 0.0.0.0 RE: Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - Harald654 - 25th Oct, 2016 05:51 AM hello Nachteile, thank you for the fix. (great work, now it runs!) But unfortunately, i still have another request wich is also the reason why i wanted to use an external Gbit-Lan adapter at all. I use my RPi2 also as a network drive to access music/movies and save backups (via SMB). Since the Rpi2 with 100Mbit-Lan and USB2 speed is very limited, for me therefore counts every bit/s. With Raspbian and other distributions i always get a network speed of about 11-12MB/s (over SMB), with xbian however only 8-9MB/s. Because as i said for me every bit/s counts, i wanted to switch to a Gbit-lan adapter. Since everything runs over a single USB controller, i expected no huge speedup, but with Raspbian i reach a speed of 16 MB / s over SMB with the Adapter. With Xbian unfortunately i get only significantly lower speed of 11-12MB/s. My question is now, does you (or someone else) knows what the lower speeds with Xbian lie and is there a possibility to increase the network speed? (At least the same speed as with Raspbian should be possible i think?) Grettings, H. RE: Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work - Nachteule - 25th Oct, 2016 10:22 PM This is OT in this thread.
