Hi CTurner, I've just posted over on the Android building google group about my board, a mini210S, I'd like to get the ethernet sorted out as well, there should be an 'ethernet settings' app. in the ice cream sandwich image that friendlyarm wrote, you should be able to set it to dhcp from there and it should auto start like that next time you boot.
There is a another problem where the ethernet isn't patched into the framework, so google play etc. aren't aware of eth0 as a download source. There is the x86 ics ethernet patch, which I've tried to patch (the patch succeeds) and compiled the rom but if I have the dpi set to auto (120) and go into settings, the settings dialog crashes as soon as I scroll down to the 'ethernet settings' tab, if I set it to hdpi (>200) I can access settings and scroll past the ethernet settings tab but still can't access it. I'm guessing that there are issues with a missing icon at the ldpi setting for the 'ethernet settings' tab, but not entirely sure what's stopping me from accessing it. any help would be appreciated and I can take this to a new topic if that would be helpful?
