[PROBLEM] Gigabit Lan adapter (USB3) doesn't work

[rikardo1979]

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
iface eth0 inet dhcp

and change it to

Code:

auto eth2 lo
iface eth2 inet dhcp

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

hit enter. After reboot your USB LAN adaptor should work and you should be connected to network
