NIC Broadcom AC 131 not properly detected – Ubuntu Forums
we are also having problems with the Shuttle SS31T, we can boot from a live CD and install the OS to a IDE hard drive but the NIC and SATA are not recognised?
Do you have any tips on how to get the NIC and SATA devices working?
NIC Broadcom AC 131 not properly detected – Ubuntu Forums
I bought a Shuttle SS31T this week for a non-profit. I am turning it into a cheapo M$ terminal server. The nonprofit has lots of dumb PCs(aka Win98) but not a real PC(i.e. something made in the last 3 years) to be found.
The SS31T is a cute box and the price with a 940 D, disk drive, and a gig of memory is attractive. To make sure that everything was connected properly I booted Ubuntu’s LiveCD. Everything looked fine except for the minor details that it was not talking to the LAN and it did not see the SATA drive. The Ethernet link light was on at the back of the PC but no traffic made it through. Next I booted FreeDos. At least it could see the SATA drive. In a panic I installed a trial version of XP since my 2K3 is in transit. Whew it worked! All of the problems in the Device Manger cleared up when I installed the Shuttle drivers.
