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
There are patches available that add configuration dialog etc, mostly all
originated by yi sun of the android-x86 project.
They never applied out of the box for me, but were straightforward enough
to patch manually. Do a bit of research, and you'll be good to go with full
blown EthernetService,
