My ethernet port is gone

Mon Feb 04, 2013 2:10 am

How can Xbian or Raspbmc or any other connect to my wireless router? These two distributions don't seem to work with a USB wireless adapter out-of-the-box, while Raspbian and Fedora remix supports. The ethernet port on the pi is missing.

How do you mean missing (pysically not there)?
Noob is not derogatory the noob is just the lower end of the noob--geek spectrum being a noob is just your first step towards being an uber-geek ;)

If you find a solution please post it in the wiki the forum dies too quick

Yes it is physically not there, I can only connect with USB wireless adapters.

• Don't like the board ? Missing features ? Change to the prosilver theme ! You can find it in your settings.
• Don't like to search the forum BEFORE posting 'cos it's useless ? Try googling : yoursearchtermshere site:raspberrypi.org

Are you sure you don't have a Model A?
Model A has 256MB RAM, one USB port and no Ethernet (network connection). Model B has 512MB RAM, 2 USB port and an Ethernet port.

It seems I do have a model A.
I am joking, I don't live in the EU. I found you can actually connect to wireless through the Program section instead of Settings. I was trying to connect in Settings that's why I thought Raspbmc do not support wireless.
