It had be used (mainly headless) to run a MoinMoin Wiki which I used to create and export my "Raspberry Pi" webpages. Initial symptoms were loss of network connectivity followed by f...

Now, the big finale: Should I declare my RASPBERRY PI Ethernet port dead? If you've tested the very latest Raspbian (or NOOBS/Raspbian) and it doesn't work then it may be time to get a RPi2B as an upgrade. I'm sorry, but what is a RPi2B? Did you mean one of the new versions of the Raspberry Pi devi...
